The Shadow of Your Smile

( Love Theme from "The Sandpiper" )

 

One day we walked along the sand

one day in early spring . . .

You held a piper in your hand

to mend it's broken wing 

Now, I'll remember many a day 

an' many a lonely mile 

The echo of a piper's song 

an' 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 . . . 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!

 

< instrumental break >

 

Now, when I remember spring, 

all the joy that love can bring . . . 

I will be remembering, 

the shadow of your smile!
