Doris Day Stardust song lyrics

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

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 always will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain.

The memory of love's refrain
