Shadow of Your Smile

1965
Music by Johnny Mandel
Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster

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, so did i

(Won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in the film The Sandpiper)
