Johnny Mathis – Stardust lyrics
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 were 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 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

Beside the 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 always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of loves refrain

    He is looking back to a time in his life where he possibly was experiencing his first love. He is daydreaming about a specific time or times when they would take walks in "their" garden.. This specific vision focuses on a specific night when they were in the garden and he sees this telling time of holding her in his arms. All of his senses were heightened with the memories. He knows he is dreaming in vain of a love that could not work but in his heart it remains the same. It can't happen again but he can remember and it will be with him until he dies.

    But what about the Stardust? I think that is similar to the Tinkerbell effect that where we see the magic of "Stardust" falling all around us.
