Smile
Fausto Papetti Lyrics
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 is a poignant ballad that has stood the test of time, evoking a potent sense of nostalgia and heartbreak. The lyrics express the lingering presence of a loved one even after they have gone, as their memory 'colors all my dreams and lights the dawn.' The song speaks of a deep love that endures distance and time, as the singer asks their lover to 'look into my eyes my love and see, all the lovely things you are to me.' The chorus is especially powerful as the titular phrase is repeated throughout, emphasizing the weight of the lover's absence and the lasting impact they have on the singer's life.
The second verse intensifies the emotion of the song as it describes a 'wistful little star' that was 'far, too high' to reach. The star represents the love that is just out of reach, and despite the singer's efforts to touch it, they can only manage to kiss a tear that falls from its unreachable heights. The final lines of the song speak of remembrance, emphasizing that even though the singer's lover may be gone, they will forever hold a special place in their heart as they remember 'all the joys that love can bring.'
