To the tune of The Shadow of Your Smile performed by Frank Sinatra, music written by Johnny Mandel, lyrics by Paul Francis Webster.
| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| The shadow of your cross Falls on my life - Separating what Was from what’s now. |
The shadow of your smile When you have gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn |
| Looking back I see All dark and death. Before me now is hope In every breath! |
Look into my eyes, My love, and see All the lovely things, You are, to me |
| The past was very cruel, Sin ruled my life. My heart craved more, I Knew not what it sought. |
Our wistful little star Was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so, so did I |
| Now when I remember You, My life now is made anew. My sorrow forever lost: The shadow of your cross. |
Now when I remember spring And every little lovely thing I will be remembering The shadow of your smile. |
The future now is bright, |
Our wistful little star Was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so, so did I |
| Now when I remember You, My life now is straight and true My song will breakforth anew, In praises of Your cross. Your lovely cross! |
Now when I remember spring And every little lovely thing I will be remembering The shadow of your smile Your lovely smile |
