Hoagy Carmichael
Star Dust
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Stills 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 with a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the year's 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 our song
Beside [?]
When stars are bright you are in my arms
The nightinggale tells his fairy tale
Paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory, the memory
The memory of love refrains
