G9      G      G7M    G         C9 
And now the purple dusk of twilight time 
 B7                              E     E9-    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        G7M      G   C9 
You wandered down the lane and far away. 
 B7                              E   E9-  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    G?      Am7  C?  G   Cm   G 
The music  of  the years gone  by. 
 
(Melody:) 
G7M   G   G9 C7M  C     Am       C         F  
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night 
 F7                     G      G/F#   Em  Bm7(b5)    E7 
Dreaming of a song.   The mel-o-dy haunts my reverie,               
   Am7    E7  F?        Am7    F?   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  
Is in the stardust of a song. 
   C7M  C     Am        C            F7 
Beside a garden wall when stars are bright,  
Fm7/9                 G   G/F#    Em  Bm7(b5)            E7 
You are in my arms; the nightingale tells his fairy tale 
   Am7    E7       F?     Am7     F?     Am 
Of par-a-dise where ro-ses grew. 
             D   A7  D7          G    G/F# Em   B   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? (IV)   G    Am7 alt   Cm    G6 
the memory of love's   re  -  frain.
