Stardust
Stardust Melody: Love's Echo Across Time
Lyrics
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Describing the evening, a poetic depiction of twilight.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
Expressing emotions that are spreading over the speaker's inner self.
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Observing stars ascending in the sky, a metaphor for the passing of time.
Always reminding me that we're apart
Constant reminders of the physical separation from a loved one.
You wander down the lane and far away
Imagining the loved one walking away down a lane.
Leaving me a song that will not die
The departed lover leaves behind a lasting, memorable song.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Love is now a distant, intangible essence—like stardust.
The music of the years gone by.
Reflecting on the music that represents the passage of years.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The speaker contemplates how time is spent during lonely nights.
The lonely nights
Reflecting on nights spent alone.
Dreaming of a song
Dreaming about a specific song.
The melody
Highlighting the importance of the melody in the speaker's thoughts.
Haunts my reverie
The melody continues to occupy the speaker's daydreams.
And I am once again with you
The song transports the speaker back to a past moment with the loved one.
When our love was new
Recalling the initial stages of the romantic relationship.
And each kiss an inspiration
Describing the kisses as a source of inspiration.
But that was long ago
Acknowledging the passage of time and the change in the relationship.
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Finding solace and memories in the stardust of a song.
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
Adding a visual element to the memory, imagining stars near a garden wall.
You are in my arms
The speaker envisions being in an embrace when the stars are bright.
The nightingale
A nightingale's song narrates a fairy tale.
Tells his fairytale
The nightingale's tale is set in a paradise where roses once bloomed.
Of paradise, where roses grew
Describing a dream of an unattainable paradise.
Though I dream in vain
Despite dreams being in vain, the heart retains the image.
In my heart it will remain
The essence of the stardust melody persists in the heart.
My stardust melody
The speaker's personal melody, formed from stardust, remains in memory.
The memory of love's refrain.
The enduring memory of love's refrain through the stardust melody.
