And now the pur ple dusk of (F9)twi light time

(E7)steals a cross the mead ows of my (A7)heart.

High up in the sky the (C)lit tle stars (Am)climb,

(B7)al ways re mind ing me that (G7)we’re a part.

You wan dered down the lane and (F9)far a way,

(E7)leav ing me a song that will not (A7)die.

Love is now the star dust (C)of yes ter (Am)day,

the mu sic (G7)of the years gone (C)by.

Some times I (F6)won der why I spend the lone ly night

(Fm6)dream ing of a song.

The (C)mel o dy

(Em6)haunts my rev e rie,

and I am once a gain with you,

when our (G7)love was new

and each kiss an in spi (C)ra

tion.

But (D9)that was long a go; now my con sol a tion is (Dm7)in the star dust of a (G7)song.

(C)Be (F6)side a gar den wall when stars are bright,

(Fm6)you are in my arms.

The (C)night in gale

(Em6)tells his fair y tale

of par a dise, where ros es grew.

Though I (F6)dream in vain,

in my (C)heart it will re (B7)main:

(E7)my (F6)star dust mel o dy,

the mem o ry of love’s re (Fm6)frain.
