Stardust

                                  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.

 

Sometimes I wonder, how 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



Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright

You are in my arms

The nightingale 

Tells his fairytale

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.
