G9 G G7+ G C9 And now the purple dusk of twilight time B7 E E-9 E E7 Steals across the meadows of my heart. Am Cm G G/F# Em High up in the sky the little stars climb, F# F#7 D Fdim D7 Always reminding me that we're a - part. G9 G G7+ G C9 You wandered down the lane and far away. B7 E E-9 E E7 Leaving me a song that will not die. Am Cm G G/F# Em Love is now the stardust of yes-ter-day, D7 Gdim Am7 Cdim G Cm G The music of the years gone by. Melody: G7+ G G9 Cm7 C Am C F Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night F7 G G/F# Em Bm7/5- E7 Dreaming of a song. The mel-o-dy haunts my reverie, Am7 E7 Fdim Am7 Fdim Am And I am once again with you. D Fdim D7 D G6 D+ G6 When our love was new, and each kiss an in-spi-ra-tion, A9 G A7 G But that was long ago; now my consolation D7 Am7 C D7 D Is in the stardust of a song. Cm7 C Am C F7 Beside a garden wall when stars are bright, Fm7/9 G G/F# Em Bm7/5- E7 You are in my arms; the nightingale tells his fairy tale Am7 E7 Fdim Am7 Fdim Am Of par-a-dise where ro-ses grew. D A7 D7 G G/F# Em B F#7 B7 Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will re-main: C C/B E7 Am7 My stardust mel-o-dy D7 Cdim Cdim(IV) G Am7 alt Cm G6 the memory of love's re - frain.
