Lyrics
One day we walked along the sand
Reflecting on a day spent walking along the beach.
One day in early spring
Specifically, a day in the early part of the season of spring.
You held a piper in your hand
Describing holding a musical instrument, a piper, in hand.
To mend it's broken wing
The purpose is to mend the broken wing of the piper.
Now I remember many a day
Recalling many days and miles, suggesting a journey together.
And many a lonely mile
Emphasizing the distance covered alone, without the companion.
The echo of a piper song
Referring to the lingering sound of the piper's song.
The shadow of a smile

The shadow of your smile

When you are gone

Will color all my dreams
Associating the absence with a change in the colors of dreams.
And light the dawn
Suggesting that the departed person's influence will illuminate the dawn.
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
Inviting the loved one to look into the speaker's eyes and recognize their value.
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Acknowledging and appreciating the lovely qualities of the person.
Our wistful little star

Was far too high

A teardrop kissed your lips
Using imagery of a teardrop to convey a moment of emotional intensity.
And so did I
Implying a shared emotional experience, symbolized by a kiss.
Now when I remember spring
Recalling the season of spring and the associated joy.
All the joy that the love can bring

I will be remembering
Expressing the intention to remember the positive aspects of love.
The shadow of your smile
