Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you are gone
Will colour 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
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy the love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will colour 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
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy the love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy the love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile
