The Shadow of Your Smile

Matt Monro

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 while
An echo of a piper's song
The shadow of your smile

The shadow of your smile when you are gone
Will colour all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my lover you will 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
And all the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

And now that I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
