Stardust
The Frank & Joe Show Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming 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
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
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.

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
The evening sky is turning purple as twilight creeps in
Steals across the meadows of my heart
The feeling of twilight is spreading across my being
High up in the sky the little stars climb
The stars are beginning to appear in the sky
Always reminding me that we're apart
Their presence serves as a reminder of distance
You wander down the lane and far away
You've gone down the path and are far out of reach
Leaving me a song that will not die
Though you're gone, the song serves as a reminder of you
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Love has become the remnants of the past
The music of the years gone by.
The tunes of olden days still echo in my ears
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
At times I contemplate how I pass my time
The lonely nights
Lonely nights are harsh to bear
Dreaming of a song
I often fantasize about a tune
The melody
The melodic tune of the song from my dreams
Haunts my reverie
It lingers in my thoughts long after I wake up
And I am once again with you
When I think of you the song makes it feel like we're together again
When our love was new
Back when our love was in its early days
And each kiss an inspiration
Every kiss was memorable and special
But that was long ago
Those moments passed by a long time ago
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
The lingering memory of the tune is my solace in this moment
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
Along the garden wall, in a glowing night sky
You are in my arms
You are near and cozy in my embrace
The nightingale
The melodious bird known as the nightingale
Tells his fairytale
It sings a wistful song of love and wonder
Of paradise, where roses grew
It sings about the sweet paradise where roses bloomed
Though I dream in vain
Even though I know my dreams may never come true
In my heart it will remain
The vivid memory will never fade away from my mind
My stardust melody
The song that reminds me of you is my stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
The recollection of the tune is the echo of love's melody.
