The shadow of your smile

 

La sombra de tu sonrisa, es una canción compuesta por Johnny Mandel en 1965, con letra de Paul Francis Webster, para la película The Sandpiper (Castillos en la arena) de 1965 de Vicente Minnelli.

En sus múltiples versiones, traigo la de Astrud Gilberto, también fantástica la de Frank Sinatra.

Letras

One day we walked along the sand

One day in early spring

You held a piper in your hand

To mend its broken wing

Now I'll remember many a day

And many a lonely mile

The echo of a piper's song

The shadow of a smile

The shadow of your smile

When you are 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

Was far too high

A teardrop kissed your lips

And so did I

Now when I remember spring

All the joy that love can bring

I will be remembering

The shadow of your smile
