When stars are bright, you are in my arms
And each kiss an inspiration
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
When our love was new
High up in the sky the little stars climb
But that was long ago, now my consolation
The memory of love's refrain
Songwriters: Hoagy Carmichael, Mitchell Parish
Beside a garden wall
Is in the stardust of a song
The lonely night dreaming of a song
Leaving me a song that will not die
My stardust melody
In my heart it will remain
A paradise where roses bloom
The melody haunts my reverie
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
Though I dream in vain
The music of the years gone by
Always reminding me that we're apart
Steals across the meadows of my heart
And I am once again with you
The nightingale tells his fairy tale

Love is now the stardust of yesterday
You wander down the lane and far away
