The Shadow Of Your Smile
Papetti Fausto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The shadow of your smile
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
Our wistful little star
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
