Stardust

Writer(s): hoagy carmichael





Verse:



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.
