Stardust
Louis Armstrong Lyrics

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
As the sun sets and darkness approaches, I feel a melancholic mood

Steals across the meadows of my heart
My emotional state is like a meadow that's covered by darkness of twilight

High up in the sky the little stars climb
As night falls, I can see tiny dots of light shining in the sky

Always reminding me that we're apart
What once was together is now apart, and the stars remind me of this separation

You wander down the lane and far away
You've gone away and left me behind to wander and roam around aimlessly

Leaving me a song that will not die
The memory of the song you left behind will never fade away

Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Our love, which once seemed so alive, is now a thing of the distant past

The music of the years gone by.
The music that reminds me of our past love is something from long ago

Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
At times, I wonder how I can endure these lonely nights without you

The lonely nights
The nights spent without you nearby

Dreaming of a song
I dream of a time when we used to be together and be happy

The melody
The tune I can't get out of my head

Haunts my reverie
The song I can't forget is like a ghost that keeps coming back to me

And I am once again with you
In my dreams, I'm with you again

When our love was new
During the time when our love was still fresh and exciting

And each kiss an inspiration
Each kiss felt like it could inspire me to do great things

But that was long ago
It's been a long time since those happy days

And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
The song's memories are my comfort now that you're gone

Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
Outside, by the garden wall, under a bright sky

You are in my arms
I'm holding you tightly

The nightingale
The bird that sings in the night

Tells his fairytale
The bird's song sounds like a fairytale

Of paradise, where roses grew
The bird's song describes a paradise where flowers bloomed

Though I dream in vain
Although I dream of being with you again, it's all in vain

In my heart it will remain
The memory of us together will never leave my heart

My stardust melody
The song that holds our memories and emotions

The memory of love's refrain.
The song continues to remind me of our love, even now that you're gone
