Connick, Jr., Harry - Stardust Lyrics
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a 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
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 will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Dang it Harry. I've been following your career since I was 16 (Memphis Belle) and have enjoyed singing along with you on every album. I play a little piano but love your style. Now I find out you got this Playground Sessions? Shut up and TAKE MY MONEY!! Love ya bro.
is that Ellis Marsalis on piano? he taught everyone
This is not even a close alternative to the greatest rendering of all. The tempo is, to coin a word, andantissimo, so funereally. slow that the individual words come apart! The intricate lacy structure of Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parrish's immortal lyrics (especially that opening octet):
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.
"Steals across the meadows of my heart", "The music of the year's gone by": these moving words were Mitchell Parrish's immortal contribution, which turned Hoagy Carmichael's unfocussed, aimless original into a literary classic (I taught English Literature at the Univs. of Leicester and Kent at Canterbury, and used to hand it out to the students at our weekly practical criticism classes - and then play them the greatest rendering of this "music of the years gone by". The "greatest rendering"? Yes,. Frank Sinatra recorded a second rate version (which left out the opening octet - and instantly relegated his version to the second class). Turn to Nat King Cole's version. An Italian waiter at Oxford when I was doing my Ph.D.. made the shrewd observation:"Frankie will sing any old song, but Nat King Cole was immaculate in his choice of the songs he sang". This immortal song, sung at just the right pace (andante), in Nat Cole's smoky, baritone-tenor voice,, and immaculate enunciation, turns it into a once-in-a-lifetime melody. Listen to it for yourselves. DIPAK NANDY
If he had copied Hoagy too closely, might you have found fault?
🤓
Enjoy the song.
Thank you Harry for keeping it alive
TY for the upload, what a superb version of a brilliant standard! :-)
Undoubtedly one of my favourite songs, sheer brilliance and talent

How was he so good so young?
lots of practice from a very early age. he wanted to be the best at his art.
He's been lousy his whole career. Did you ever hear him live ? Anyway, check out his ears. Cesare Lombrozo would have a field day with this mental case. There are photographs available online that support the Lombrozo theory of insanity and criminality. Compare them to this nut-job. See what I mean !
superbe... merci pour votre talent
Simply amazing!!!
Gold :) Much love from the islands of Samoa
Old school Harry..... This is the stuff that made me love you! Still love red light, blue light!
