The Shadow Of Your Smile (Live) Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
From the motion picture Sandpiper comes a very beautiful ballad
Won the Academy Award in 1965
And I shall never forget...

[Verse 1]
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light, light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me

[Verse 2]
Our wistful little star was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
So did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

[Outro]
Our wistful little star was way, way too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
Darling, so, so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
Oh, I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Thank you

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
