| STARDUSTAnd 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 Sometimes I wonder Why I spend the lonely night Dreaming of a song.
