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 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 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 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 If you find some error in Stardust Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Stardust Timeless Beauty | Reviewer: Mags | 11/1/09 I don't know why, but Nat King Cole always reminds me of Christmas. A magical Christmas of times gone by. Crisp, white snow, warm, cosy house, twinkling Christmas tree, candle light, Mum making dinner, Dad sipping his sherry in front of the warm, cosy coal fire, me cuddling my beautiful Daddy. We will never witness such simple beauty again. Music Lover | Reviewer: Jackie | 9/29/09 I wanted these words to put in a frame for a nice lady at the "Residential Center" where she lives in our city. This song brings such wonderful memories for her when she was young and so in love. Because she could not have children, the love of her life broke the engagement. She never married, but "LOVES" this song. It brings her such wonderful memories of being in love. free french ball | Reviewer: pearl | 5/24/09 when i was 14 yrs old i sang stardust during ww2 at a ball held in aberdeen scotland[for the free french ]the words are sooo meaningful it was my dads fav song [he was a musician]i am now 81yrs young and still get emotional when i hear it....bring back meaningful lyrics .... A SONG TO STIR THE SOUL | Reviewer: David R. George | 1/24/09 Like Jorge Esteban, I, too, am transported to a special time i my life when my dad was alive. My Website, stardust dads.com, retains a clip from YouTube in which Nat King Cole sings Stardust to the accompaniment of pictures taken by the Hubble telescope Hoagy Carmichael, the song's composer. It is a special experience like no other. Purity and love given through song. | Reviewer: Lauren S. (age 13) | 9/28/07 Listen, just listen to the lyrics, listen. What do you hear? How do you feel? How do you change? This is more than just an old song that's popularity has died over the years, it's far from it. It's like fine wine, age adds to the delicious flavor of the melody. No one has the courage to write song like this anymore. Young talent in Hollywood is surpressed and it's a shame. Our adolecents need to listen to this song and learn to savor wonderful stories when they come across them. This song is more than a song, it's a lament beautifully convayed through the sweet sound of song. It is a gift. Thank God for it, because it must have been in a vision, from the Lord, that this song was created. What a song ! | Reviewer: Mike Goudreau | 8/21/07 I hate to sound like an old fart ( I'm only 41 ) complaining about today's music, but they just don't write songs like this anymore...Beautiful words & melody..Nat King Cole's version is great, but don't forget Louis Armstrong's version...My favorite one...I sing this at my Jazz gigs and it always gives goosebumps when I sing it ! A Doorway to a Beautiful Era | Reviewer: Jorge Esteban | 6/9/07 Some people believe that past times were always better. I hate to sound that pessimistic, but when I listen to Nat King Cole, I am transported to a special time in my childhood. A time in which even the smoke from my Dad's cigarettes smelled sweet. Stardust is a song I've known all my life, and every time I hear it, the world seems different, and all my dreams come to life. Allow this beautiful song to find a place in your memory. I'm sure it will stay with you forever, as it has with me. A haunting melody | Reviewer: Brita Tarrant | 4/11/06 This song stops you in your tracks. Everyone seems to be able to relate to it and be transported at once. It's a magical, magical song. Nat King Cole is perfect for this lyric. CLASSIC - AWESOME! | Reviewer: Reb | 11/10/04 No simple and silly words or melody - this is a complex song. But i't complexity does not detract from it's beauty - NO SIR-EE! No matter who sings it, even Hoagy himself, it's contagious!
