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 colour all my dreams
And light the dawn.
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me.
A wistful little star was far too high,
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I.
Now when I remember spring
All that joy that love can bring,
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
