and now the purple dusk of twilight time
streaks across the meadows of my heart
always reminding me that we're apart
you wandered down the lane and far away
leaving me a song that will not die
love is now a stardust of yesterday
the music of the years gone by
sometimes i wonder why i spend
the lonely night dreamin' of a song?
the melody haunts my reverie
and i am once again with you
and each kiss an inspiration
now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
the nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradise where roses grew
in my heart it will remain
the memory of love's refrain
in my heart it will remain
the memory of love's refrain
