Star Dust

And now the purple dust of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart Now the little stars, the little stars pine Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a love that cannot 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 That melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration Ah, but that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall Where stars are bright You are in my arms That nightingale tells its fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain Ah, but that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall Where stars are bright You are in my arms That nightingale tells its fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain --- Star Dust - Jeff Healey
