Lyrics of Song 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.
