And now the purple dusk of twilight time
 Steals across the meadows of my heart
 High up in the sky the little stars climb
 Always reminding me that we're apart

 You wandered down the lane and far away
 Leaving me a song that will not die
 Love is now a stardust of yesterday
 The music of the years gone by

 Sometimes I wonder why I spend
 The lonely nights dreaming of a song
 The melody haunts my reverie
 And I am once again with you

 When our love was new
 And each kiss an inspiration
 But that was long ago
 Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

 Beside the garden wall
 When stars are bright you are in my arms
 The nightingale tells his fairy tale
 Of paradise where roses grew

 Though I dream in vain
 In my heart it will remain
 My stardust melody
 The memory of love's refrain

 Beside the garden wall
 When stars are bright you are in my arms
 The nightingale tells his fairy tale
 Of paradise where roses grew

 Though I dream in vain
 In my heart it always will remain
 My stardust melody
 The memory of love's refrain
