- Verse:
- And now the pur -ple dusk
of twi -light time Steals a -cross the mead -ows of my heart,
- High up in the sky the lit
-tle stars climb, Al -ways re -mind -ing me that we're a -part.
- You wand -ered down the
lane of far -a -way, Leav -ing me a song that will not die,
- Love is now the star -dust
of yes -ter -day, The mus -ic of the years gone by.
-
- Chorus:
- Some -times I won -der why
I spend the lone -ly night Dream -ing of a song?
- The mel -o -dy haunts my
re -ve -rie, And I am once a -gain with you,
- When our love is new, and
each kiss an in -spir -a -tion,
- But that was long a -go:
now my con -so -la -tion is in the star dust of a song.
- Be -side a gar -den wall,
when stars are bright, You are in my arms,
- The night -in -gale tells
his fair -y tale of pa -ra -dise, where ros -es grew.
- Tho' I dream in vain, In
my heart it will re -main:
- My star -dust mel -o -dy,
The mem -o -ry of love's re -frain.
