Mathis, Johnny - Stardust Lyrics

... when young johnny left the olympic pools to sing, we were the biggest winners ...

10 deslikes 👎 ?? why ??

The One.The Only.
Forever The Best.
Johnny Mathis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After listening to this version how can you settle for any other.
Mr Mathis is just the best !!!

I’m at awe!!!

Sorry, much as I like Johnny, John Gary's rendition is better.

Sad there's 10 morons....

I love this song and Johnny Mathis. 1975 I was getting my RE License and we were in my parents car when this came on the radio..

I love this gorgeous man.he makes every song he sings his own .His beautiful voice is truly magical.He can break my heart one moment and then make me happy the next! Thank you Johnny for being so very special and for the joy you bring.God Bless you .💕🥰🙏🏻

One of my favorite songs by Johnny Mathis

Magnificent arrangement from the legendary Gene Page.

I remember listening to this great song on a one-time legendary MOR station in Phoenix, AZ KOY AM 55 , Thanks for posting this classic.

First time I heard this I was driving from so Texas to Louisiana. A Catholic station in Corpus Christi played it...mesmerized me. No one sings it better than Johnny did.

this song tears me up like a ragged quilt!!! his voice is mezzmerizing!!

With all the due respect in the universe for Not King Cole this version by Johnny Mathis will always to me be the very best by millions of years.

Greatest version

Nat King Cole NUMBER 0NE!!!

You mean number ZER0

Now Children, opinions are like noses. Everybody has one. Can't we love both? I love pizza but I also love steak and potatoes. Love, Bossy Mom.

How can you listen today's crap after hearing this amazing song!

Exactly

Poolie Glad to know I'm not alone. I get stuck normally in the 60s, 70s, 80s but I am always open to great lyrics and melodies. I wish you great listenings!

Thanks, You too!

No one sings like Johnny Mathis , as per Ronny D. Frans hubby

I'm an avid fan of this extra ordinary singer since 1960. I have memorized most of his rendered songs , in his style. Awesome singer of all times.

This was my parents love music, too!!!

Obviously the best version

Uno puede sentirse afortunado de escuchar una y cientos de veces tan bella cancion, acaso una de las cien mejores de todos los tiempos.

Strange how everyone here act as if Nat King Cole hasn't done a rendition.

This one is still better in my opinion

I love this song.. It's done by the right voice.. I never get tired of listening to this beautiful song.. Johnny's voice is magic with Stardust. Every song he sings is breathtaking.

so dreamy

Maravilloso e inolvidable tema interpretado por este gran cantante, me encanta. Muchas gracias.

Beautiful Song

Fantastically Romantic

I love this rendition. Johnny's voice is awesome

Splendiferous!!!

from before many, many years i was in love with your voice and songs, we have just the same age!

It just doesn't get any better

That opening line was so soft I just melted into a puddle O.o I <3 you Johnny

Hands Down The Best ever version of this song WOW Mr,Mathis you are amazing.
I've been your fan from the early 60's . Thank You for being in my generation

Yes, this song lives in my heart and just will not die

Best interpretation of ths very beautiful song up to me

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

Thanks for the lyrics. I enjoy the song more

They were copy/pasted from another singer's version of the song posted online. See my corrections if you desire accuracy and not just copy/paste piracy.

Thank you for the lyrics! Nice.

@Mysteries From Beyond No , it is "far" away, and "but" that was long ago. Google the original lyrics and listen to Nat King Cole's version.


STARDUST
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....

@Mysteries From Beyond See my take on this if you want accuracy, or show us the original Hoagy Carmichael/Mitchell Parish sheet music if you want to prove your case and can dispute the correct lyrics. That is what you must do if you insist on your version, and think you are "accurate", or are complaining about "piracy." You are correct inasmuch as is "lonely night" and "beside" a garden wall are the correct words, but "far" away and "but" that was long ago, are the correct lyrics, not "fall" away and "love" that was long ago.

You are either going to the wrong sources to get what you think are the correct lyrics, or not listening carefully enough. Not a big deal, variations will work, but I don't like the way you criticized the person who was kind enough to post the lyrics, albeit with 2 errors.

Below are lyrics from Nat King Cole, who had one of the biggest hits with this song, please play it and listen carefully:



STARDUST
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....

No better rendition than this

Nat King Cole is better

No this is IT

Beautiful song.....memory of love's refrain

Some masterpeaces will last forever ! ! !

Just beautiful....

Such a talented soul.  I am so glad I lived during this time and was introduced to Johnny Mathis lovely ballads....

you could also try Nat King Cole's version...great as well...;)

Yeah I love both :) they should team up

I remember this song in 1975 when we were all taking our Real Estate tests. And once again I am young....Love it Johnny! Thanks

Only Johnny could do this song, and his voice re-makes this song into a "MASTERPIECE" !

absoultely the best song in the world, i want to be with my beautiful woman and hold her so tight as we listen to this song, thank you johnny mathis its mesmurizing !!!!!!!!!

Oh wow, wonderful, sent up shivers up my spine.. voices like this just dont come arounf often enough.. lovely guy.

Talent....!!!!

Johnny knows how to interpret a song so much better than most singers , I love the upbeat tempo ,best version I've ever heard and believe me folks I've heard a lot of different versions ,I wonder if other singers in the past were thinking, I hope
Johnny Mathis doesn't record it after me

Johnny's version of Stardust is unmatched because of his hauntingly beautiful voice at his best. For some strange reason, I always have Roy Lichtenstein's famous 'The Melody Haunt's My Reverie' painting in mind... whenever this song is on. Many art experts do not know the original source of the artwork but I do...and now you do too if you check it out.

This video is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! IT SURELY BRINGS STARDUST TO LIFE! THANK YOU!!

How Mathis hits the second part of the song! (I notice he does the same in the live TV version posted hereabouts.) I can't believe he spends his lonely nights dreaming of the song - he's too busy rousing the neighbourhood with the full-throated operatic treatment. No, 'Stardust' is the archetypal nocturne - a quiet and contemplative song with a complex and meandering melody. Nat King Cole knew that.

This was the 1st ever rendition of "Stardust" I heard in my life over 30 years ago.

This is the ONLY version of "Stardust"! Thanks for posting it with that exquisite photo.

Beautifully done!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
