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

As soon as I saw it, I thought there was something familiar about it!! Couldn't quite figure out what, though. It's obvious once you said!!! LOL. Good take on this subject!! I'll hopefully be posting mine later. ~HUGS~
Great Take Riii and I hope you are feeling better. You are such a clever girl you know. So wonderfully creative with your Shadows theme. Hugs from Milli and so glad you came over to se mine.
Wow... looks so magnificent when you make the picture bigger like that, cos I wasn't able to understand it in the small picture. Great job !!! At first I thought it was a picture from a pajama's fabric. Ehehehehehe... silly me (^_^)v
Thx for stopping by. Have a magnificent weekend there, Rii.
Funny how I saw the dark and didn't notice your arm until you mentioned it and I went back and looked again. This would be a great pic to play with in psp
Once I see the arm it makes sense. When my daughter was little, she used to love "You don't get me flowers anymore". I think that was a Barbara song. That was years ago.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Riiiiiiiiiiii your shot is always talking by itself without you say something ... and this makes me starring for couple of minutes to catch the shadow in my eyes. Huplaaaaaa. Mine is already on http://gaganawati.multiply.com/journal/item/14
Now that's a very cool shadow indeed! Both the building and your arm! I love the information about the song too! Splendid. Thanks so much for sharing and visiting mine, Rii. Have a grand weekend up there!
