Píseň: Stardust

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Love Songs
And now the purple dusk 
of twilight time
Streaks across the meadows 
of my heart
High up in the sky, 
the little stars climb
Always reminding me 
that we're apart


You wandered down the lane 
and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by


Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreamin' of a song?
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you


When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation 
is in the stardust of a song


Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright, 
you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew


Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain


.... ( instrumental ) ....


Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
