STAR DUST

STAR DUST

    

    Bing Crosby
    And now the purple dusk of twilight¹ time
    Steals across the meadow of my heart.
    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 consolation²
    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 will remain
    That stardust melody
    The memory of love's refrain.
