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 weâ??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 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 a garden wall where stars are bright You are in my arms. A nightingale sings its fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom. Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain That stardust melody The memory of love's refrain. --- Star Dust - Doris Day
