One day we walked along the sand,
One day in early spring.
You held a piper in your hand
To mend its broken wing.
Now I'll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile.
The echo of a piper's song,
The shadow of a smile.
The shadow of your smile,
When you are gone,
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn.
Look into my eyes,
My love, and see
All the lovely things
You are to me.
Our wistful little star
Was far too high.
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I.
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring.
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile.
