Em                 F#m7       B7       Em   A9  
The shadow of your smile when you are gone,

Em                Am7         D7       G
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn.

CM7          F#m7      B7        Em    B+    Em7 
Look into my eyes, my love, and see

Em6            F#7        C7     F#m7      B7 
All the lovely things you are to me.


(N.C.)            F#m7           B7    Em    B+   Em7
Our wistful little star went far too high;

  Em6                   Am7      D7    Bm7-5  E7
A teardrop kissed your lips, and so did I.

             Am7            Cm7
Now when I remember spring,

 F7        Bm7-5                  E7
All the joy that love can bring,

             A7       Am7     D9   D7/9  D7   G     Cdim    B7 
I will be remembering    the shadow of your smile.


(Instrumental interlude:  1st verse)


(N.C.)            F#m7       B7       Em    B+    Em7
Our wistful little star went far too high;

      Em6               Am7      D7   Bm7-5  E7
A teardrop kissed your lips, and so did I.

             Am7          Cm7
Now when I remember spring,

 F7              Bm7-5           E7
All the joy that love can bring,

             A7        Am7
I will be remembering

     D9   D7/9       G      Gdim    Am7    Cm7     G  
The shadow of your smile.
