Lyrics
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Describing the evening twilight with a purple hue.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
Expressing emotions as twilight spreads across the speaker's heart.
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Noting the ascent of stars in the sky.
Always reminding me that we're apart
Stars serve as a constant reminder of the separation from a loved one.
You wander down the lane and far away
Addressing the departure of a loved one down a lane.
Leaving me a song that will not die
The departed leaves behind a lasting song or memory.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Love has transformed into the enduring essence of stardust.
The music of the years gone by.
Reflecting on the music and memories of past years.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
Contemplating how the speaker spends lonely nights.
The lonely nights
Highlighting the solitude and yearning during nights.
Dreaming of a song
Dreaming about a particular song.
The melody
Emphasizing the lingering melody in the speaker's thoughts.
Haunts my reverie
The melody haunts the speaker's daydreams.
And I am once again with you
The melody transports the speaker back to moments with the loved one.
When our love was new
Recalling the freshness and newness of past love.
And each kiss an inspiration
Each kiss was once a source of inspiration.
But that was long ago
Acknowledging the passage of a long time since those moments.
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Current solace is found in the stardust, a symbol of the past song.
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
Imagining being together beyond a garden wall when stars shine.
You are in my arms
Expressing the intimacy of being in each other's arms.
The nightingale
Referring to the nightingale telling a romantic tale.
Tells his fairytale
The tale is about paradise where roses once bloomed.
Of paradise, where roses grew
The speaker dreams in vain about this idyllic place.
Though I dream in vain
Despite dreams, the memory of paradise remains in the heart.
In my heart it will remain
Stardust becomes a persistent melody in the speaker's heart.
My stardust melody
Recalling the stardust melody as a memory of love's refrain.
The memory of love's refrain.
Summarizing the enduring memory of love.
