G9      G      G7/5+  G         C9 
And now the purple dusk of twilight time 
 B7                              E     E/9    E     E7 
Steals across the meadows of my heart. 
 Am            Cm       G      G/F#    Em 
High up in the sky the little stars climb, 
 F#       F#7             D    F     D7 
Always reminding me that we're  a - part. 
  
        G9      G        G7/5+   G   C9 
You wandered down the lane and far away. 
 B7                              E   E/9  E   E7 
Leaving me a song that will not die. 
 Am              Cm          G  G/F# Em 
Love is now the stardust of yes-ter-day, 
    D7    Gº        Am7  C     G   Cm   G 
The music  of  the years gone  by. 
  
G7/5+  G   G9  Cm7    C     Am       C         F 
Sometimes  I  wonder why I spend the lonely night 
 F7      G      G/F#   Em  Bm7/5-   E7 
Dreaming of a song.   The mel-o-dy haunts my reverie, 
   Am7    E7  F           Am7    Fº    Am 
And I am once again with you. 
          D  F     D7           D       G6     D  G6 
When our love was new, and each kiss an in-spi-ra-tion, 
     A9           G    A7           G 
But that was long ago; now my consolation 
D7        Am7      C    D7     D#5 
Is in the stardust of a song. 
 
    Cm7    C     Am        C            F7 
Beside a garden wall when stars are bright, 
Fm7/9       G   G/F#    Em  Bm7/5-           E7 
You are in my arms; the nightingale tells his fairy tale 
   Am7    E7       Fº       Am7     F      Am 
Of par-a-dise where ro-ses grew. 
   D   A7  D7          G    G/F# Em    B#5    F#7   B7 
Though I dream in vain, in my heart   it     will re-main: 
   C   C/B    E7  Am7 
My stardust mel-o-dy 
        D7     C     C     G    Am7   Cm    G6 
the memory of love's   re  -  frain
