STAR DUST

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 love that will not die.
Love is now the star dust of yesterday,
The music of the years gone by.

(Chorus)
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night
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 star dust of a song.

Beside a garden wall when stars are bright,
You are in my arms,
The nightingale
Tells his fairy tale
Of paradise, where roses grew.
Tho' I dream in vain,
In my heart it will remain,
My star dust melody,

The memory of love's refrain.
