Getz 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
The memory of your smile
When you have gone
When you are no longer with me
Will color all my dreams
Will influence my dreams and emotions
And light the dawn
And bring in a new day filled with your memory
Look into my eyes my love and see
Please gaze into my eyes and understand
All the lovely things you are to me
How beautiful and wonderful you are to me
Our wistful little star
Our dreamlike, hopeful source of light
It was far, too high
It was unreachable, too distant
A teardrop kissed your lips
A tear fell onto your lips
And so did I
And so did I share the same sadness
Now when I remember spring
When I reflect on the past
All the joys that love can bring
All the happiness and warmth of love
I will be remembering
I will fondly remember
The shadow of your smile
The memory of your beautiful smile

We should all aspire to play like Stan Getz." - John Coltrane
Tom Scott
That's not what John Coltrane said.
In responding to what he thought about Stan getz sound, he said we would all sound like that if we could.
He did not say we should all aspire to play like Stan getz. That is bullcrap.
And I prefer Trane's sound personally.
