Lyrics
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
The evening time is approaching, characterized by a purple dusk.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
A poetic description of emotions as twilight extends over the speaker's inner feelings.
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Stars in the sky climb high, symbolizing separation and distance.
Always reminding me that we're apart
Constant reminder of the physical and emotional distance between the speaker and their loved one.
You wander down the lane and far away
The loved one goes away, leaving a lasting song.
Leaving me a song that will not die
The departing loved one leaves behind a song that holds eternal significance.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Love now exists as a distant memory, like stardust from the past.
The music of the years gone by.
The music of bygone years that represents the passage of time.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The speaker reflects on how they spend lonely nights.
The lonely nights
Nights filled with solitude and contemplation.
Dreaming of a song
The speaker dreams of a song during these lonely nights.
The melody
The melody of the song becomes a recurring theme in the speaker's thoughts.
Haunts my reverie
The song's melody lingers in the speaker's daydreams.
And I am once again with you
The speaker is transported back to the past when they were with their loved one.
When our love was new
Recollection of the early days of love.
And each kiss an inspiration
Each kiss during that time was a source of inspiration.
But that was long ago
The inspiration and happiness of the past are now distant memories.
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
The solace for the speaker lies in the stardust of a nostalgic song.
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
Imagery of being close to the loved one when stars illuminate the night.
You are in my arms
The speaker envisions holding the loved one in their arms.
The nightingale
A nightingale tells a romantic tale beyond a garden wall.
Tells his fairytale
The nightingale's tale is about a paradise where roses once grew.
Of paradise, where roses grew
Symbolic dreams of an idealized place and time.
Though I dream in vain
Despite dreaming in vain, the speaker holds onto the dream in their heart.
In my heart it will remain
The dream's essence remains in the speaker's heart.
My stardust melody
The stardust melody becomes a lasting memory of love's refrain.
The memory of love's refrain.
The enduring memory of love expressed through the melody of the song.
