Without a Song

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 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 
  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 
  Now my consolation 
  Is in the stardust of a song 
  Beside a garden wall 
  When stars are bright 
  You are in my arms 
  The nightingale tells his fairy tale 
  A paradise where roses bloom 
  Though I dream in vain 
  In my heart it will remain 
  My stardust melody 
  The memory of love's refrain
