[Verse 1]
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Reminding me that we are far apart, far apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that cannot die
Love is just the stardust of yesterday
The memory of the days gone by

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder why
I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song
That melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
Each kiss an inspiration
Oh, but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

[Verse 2]
Besides the garden wall, when stars were bright
You were in my arms
The nightingale hummed his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
Always in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
[Outro]
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
My heart
