Artie Shaw [clarinetist]

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apartYou 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 why I spend
The 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 songBeside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Ki ki (x3)

When I'm calling you, dop dop dop dee dop dop (all right, all right)
When you answer too, doo dee dah doo de dah dah dah (all the time, all the time)
That means I offer my love to you, to be wrong
If you refuse me I will be blue and waiting all alone
But when you hear my love call ringing clear (all here, all here)
And I hear your answering echo, so dear (ol' echo, ol' echo)
Then I will know our love will come true
You belong to me, I belong to you

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apartYou 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 why I spend
The 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 songBeside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Thanks for everything.
Every word, every sigh, every kiss.
Thanks for everything.
For bringing me moments like tThanks For Everythinghis.
For taking the skies of gray,
And making them blue.
For taking my cares away.
I tip my heart to you.
So thanks for everything
Every thrill in your tender caress.
Thanks to you alone.
For all that I'll ever possess.
You gave me my reason to dream,
And made every dream come true.
And so for everything, my thanks to you.
