Stardust (single) from Stardust (single) by Jeudi
A meandering melody that leads down the garden path of pure poetry to a place where wistful memories dwell, heartfelt yearnings are indulged and meteoric passions shoot across the vistas of the mindscape, leaving behind only the glimmer of stardust and lingering love.
Originally published as "Star Dust" in 1927, as a rhythmic swing instrumental by Hoagy Carmichael. Subsequently published as "Stardust" with added lyrics by Mitchell Parish in 1929.

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 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 how 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
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Besides the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
A memory of love's refrain.
Songwriters: Hoagy Carmichael (m), Parish Mitchell (w)

As a performer of vintage music, I like to take people on a joyful time-traveling journey. As you’re listening, I hope you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the past - - maybe it’s a swank Supper Club in Manhattan, an intimate Parisian Cabaret, an elegant London Ballroom, or to Hollywood’s Golden Age - - or maybe you’ll just drift on the music, back to your own memories.
