Tony Bennett - Stardust

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.

That melody

haunts my reverie

and I am once again with you,

when our love was new

and each kiss an inspiration.

Oh, 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.

That nightingale

tells its fairytale

of paradise where roses grew.

Though I dream in vain,

in my heart will remain

my stardust melody,

the memory of love's refrain.

Beside a garden wall where stars are bright,

you are in my arms.

That nightingale

tells its fairytale

of paradise where roses grew.

Though I dream in vain,

in my heart will remain

my stardust melody,

the memory of love's refrain.
