Lyrics : 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 wander down the lane and far far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
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
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You were in my arms
That nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
(love's refrain)
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
That nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

@noisepuppet I agree...but I still think the hoagy carmichael vocal version he did I think in the 50s is the most touching version. he sings it himself with only the piano.

[flomurdock]

@rtothemutha Sounds like Aaron harmonizing with himself

[rtothemutha]

Luv this song. Eerie AND soothing :-)

I wonder who performs the background voices....

[noisepuppet]

Inimitable! Almost ruins all other versions. Almost!
