Lyrics:

Notes:Introductory verses rarely recorded (this is from Harry Connick Jr's '25' album, not Ella's!) Lyrics: [Introductory verses:] And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little moon starts to 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 the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend a lonely night 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, 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
