The Shadow of Your Smile
Whispers of Love: Embracing the Echoes in The Shadow of Your Smile
Lyrics
One day we walked along the sand
Reflecting on a day when we walked together on the beach
One day in early spring
Specifically, a day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
You held a musical instrument, a piper, in your hand
To mend its broken wing
Symbolically trying to mend a broken aspect, possibly a relationship
Now I'll remember many a day
Recalling various days and distances traveled alone
And many a lonely mile
Reflecting on the loneliness experienced during the journey
The echo of a piper's song
Hearing the lingering sound of the piper's song in memory
The shadow of a smile
Feeling the lasting impact of a smile, now a shadow
The shadow of your smile
The lingering presence of your smile even when you're not present
When you are gone
Anticipating the impact of your absence on the speaker
Will color all my dreams
Describing how the shadow of the smile will influence dreams
And light the dawn
Suggesting the hopeful and illuminating effect on the dawn
Look into my eyes
Inviting a gaze into the speaker's eyes to understand the depth of emotion
My love and see
Addressing the loved one and expressing the beauty perceived
All the lovely things
Describing the myriad of wonderful qualities possessed by the loved one
You are to me
Highlighting the importance and positive impact of the loved one
Our wistful little star
Referring to a distant star as a symbol of unattainable dreams
Was far too high
Suggesting that the dream was too lofty or difficult to reach
A teardrop kissed your lips
Metaphorically expressing a shared moment of sadness with a teardrop
And so did I
Indicating a connection or shared emotion with a kiss
Now when I remember spring
Recalling memories of spring, a season often associated with love
All the joy that love can bring
Acknowledging the joy that love brings
I will be remembering
Stating that the speaker will remember the shadow of the smile
The shadow of your smile
Reiterating the lasting impact and memory of the smile's shadow
