(Verse) 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 remember many a day And many a lonely mile The echo of a piper's song The shadow of a smile
(Chorus) 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
I have often walked, down this street before But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before All at once am I several stories high Knowing I’m on the street, where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town? Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? Does enchantment pour out of every door? No, it’s just on the street, where you live.
And oh, the tow’ring feeling Just to know somehow you are near The overpow’ring feeling That any second you may suddenly appear.
People stop and stare, They don’t bother me For there’s nowhere else on earth,That I would rather be Let the time go by,I don’t care if I Can be here on the street, where you live.
