Lou Rawls The Shadow of your Smile Lyrics:
[Clapping.]

[Spoken:]
Thank you. Now we'll sort of reach over now and get you, ah, a song, ah,
that's, ah, a motion picture theme. There are some very beautiful motion
picture themes. This one in particular. I think one of the most beautiful to
come out in the past, ah, few years, really. The motion picture, The Sandpiper,
the song...

[Sung:]
The shadow of your smile when you are gone,
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn.
Look into my eyes, oh, my love, and see,
All the lovely things that you are, you are to me.

A wistful little star, ahh, it was far, it was a way too high.
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I.
Now when I remember spring,
And all the joy that love can bring,
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile.

I said, the shadow of your smile when you are gone,
Will color all of my dreams and light the dawn.

When you look into my eyes, oh, my love, I know you will see,
All of the lovely things that you are, you are to me.

A wistful little star, it was far too high.
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I.
Now when I remember spring,
And all the joy that love can bring,
You know, I will be remembering...

The shadow of your smile when you are gone...
