Nat King Cole
"Stardust"

And now the purple dust 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 wanderd 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 his fairy tale
A paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
my stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
