STAR DUST
Words by Mitchell Parish
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
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,
Verse 2
YOU WANDERED DOWN THE LANE AND FAR AWAY,
LEAVING ME A SONG THAT WILL NOT DIE,
LOVE IS NOW THE STAR DUST OF YESTERDAY,
THE MUSIC OF THE YEARS GONE BY,
Chorus
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 STAR DUST OF A SONG,
BESIDE A GARDEN WALL, WHEN STARS ARE BRIGHT,
YOU ARE IN MY ARMS,
THE NIGHTINGALE TELLS HIS FAIRY TALE
OF PARADISE WHERE ROSES GREW,
THO’ I DREAM IN VAIN,
IN MY HEART IT WILL REMAIN,
MY STAR DUST MELODY,
THE MEMORY OF LOVE’S REFRAIN.
(Repeat Chorus)
