Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joys that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

The shadow of your smile
The memory of your smile will haunt me even after you're gone
When you have gone
After you've left my life
Will color all my dreams
It will have a lasting impact on all my dreams and aspirations
And light the dawn
But your departure will also bring a new beginning - a bright new day
Look into my eyes my love and see
Look deeply into my eyes and understand how much you mean to me
All the lovely things you are to me
Realize how beautiful and special you truly are to me
Our wistful little star
We shared a bittersweet relationship
It was far, too high
Our passions and emotions were too intense and unattainable
A teardrop kissed your lips
The pain of our separation was unbearable
And so did I
I am also crying over the loss of us
Now when I remember spring
Now, every time I think back to the beginning of our love
All the joys that love can bring
When I recall all of the happiness that love can provide
I will be remembering
It is the memories of you that I will cherish
The shadow of your smile
The thought of your smile that will never leave me
