Stardust Dinah Washington

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 that we're far apart

You wandered 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 those lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you

Well, when our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew
