The Shadow Of Your Smile
Echoes of Love and Loss: The Shadow of Your Smile
Lyrics
One day we walked along the sand
They walked together on the beach
One day in early spring
On a day during the early part of spring
You held a piper in your hand
You held a musical instrument (piper) that needed repair
To mend its broken wing
To fix its broken part
Now I'll remember many a day
The speaker will recall various days
And many a lonely mile
And the long distances traveled feeling lonely
The echo of a piper's song
Remembering the sound of the piper's music
The shadow of a smile
The lingering memory of a smile
The shadow of your smile
The lasting impression of your smile
When you are gone
When you're no longer present
Will color all my dreams
Will influence and shape all my dreams
And light the dawn
And brighten the beginning of a new day
Look into my eyes
Directs the listener to look deeply into the speaker's eyes
My love and see
To perceive the wonderful things the speaker sees in their love
All the lovely things
The beautiful qualities and experiences attributed to the beloved
You are to me
Expressing the significant role of the beloved in the speaker's life
Our wistful little star
Our cherished, distant hope or desire
Was far too high
Seemed unattainable
A teardrop kissed your lips
A tear and a kiss were shared
And so did I
Reflects a moment of intimacy or shared emotion
Now when I remember spring
Recalling the season of spring
All the joy that love can bring
Remembering the happiness and fulfillment brought by love
I will be remembering
The speaker will recall
The shadow of your smile
The lingering memory of your smile
