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 wander down the lane and far away
  Leaving me a song that will not die
  Love is now the stardust
  Of yesterday
  The music
  Of the years
  Gone by
  
  Chorus:
  
  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, and 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 you will remain
  My stardust melody
  The memory of love's refrain.
