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!

Now, when I remember spring,
All the joy that love can bring . . .
I will be remembering,
The shadow of your smile!
