VERSE: in C
One day we walked a-long the sand,
One day in ear-ly spring.
You held a pip-er in your hand
To mend its bro-ken wing.
Now I'll re-mem-ber man-y a day
And man-y a lone-ly mile.
The ech-o of a pip-er's song
The shad-ow of your smile
CHORUS: in G (Bossa-Nova beat
The shad-ow of your smile
When you are gone.
Will col-or all my dreams
And light the dawn.
Look in-to my eyes
My love and see.
All the love-ly things
You are to me
Our wist-ful lit-tle star
Was far too high.
A tear-drop kissed your lips
And so did I.
Now when I re-mem-ber spring,
All the joy that love can bring,
I will be re-mem-ber-ing
The sha-dow of your smile.
