about

Includes the rarely sung, and sorely missed, supreme intro that Hoagy wrote for this song

lyrics

And now the purple dust of twilight time goes and steels across the meadows of my heart. High up in the sky all the little stars climb, and they’re always reminding that we’re apart.
You wander down the lane and far away, leaving me a song that will not die. Love is now, it’s the stardust of all our yesterdays. Yes it’s the music of the years gone by.

Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights just dreaming of a song. That melody goes and haunts my reverie when I was once again with you. When our love was new and each kiss was an inspiration.
But that was long ago and now my consolation lies in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall where stars are bright, you are in my arms. The nightingale goes and tells his fairytale of paradise where rose grew. And though I dream in vain, in my heart there still remains my stardust melody, the memory of loves refrain.
