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!
