"Stardust" lyrics - NATALIE COLE

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 like 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

Oh when our love was new
And each kiss and inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

Beside the garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightengale, he tells his little fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The melody of love's refrain
