"Stardust" lyrics - JAKE SHIMABUKURO

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 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

And 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
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
And beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
And you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom

[Chorus:]
Though I dream in vain
In my heart there always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Though I dream in vain
In my heart there always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

[Instrumental bridge]

And beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
And you are in my arms
And the nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom

[Chorus:]
And though I dream in vain
In my heart there always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
