Stardust
(Carmichael-Parish) 

And now the purple dust 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
Now my consolation 
Is in the stardust of a song 

Beside a garden wall
Where 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 it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

Thanks for the visit; hope you enjoyed this Golden Oldie, Stardust, performed by the great Nat King Cole.
