Star Dust

Star Dust - Klea Blackhurst/Billy Stritch

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

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

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 it's fairy tale

Of paradise where roses groom

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain
