The Girl Who Stood Beside Me

Whose face did I see beside me

When I looked into the mirror, yesterday?

Who has tried to keep my spirits

Oh, so high through yesterday?

Who now shares my life and tears

Whenever I cry?

Who becomes my wife

And fears the day I die?

Who knows all my thoughts

And every word I say?

She’s the girl who stood beside me

As I looked into the mirror, yesterday.

Who then gave a hand to me

When I was tremblin’ in the dark, just yesterday?

Who then showed me all the nights and all the sights

And all the lights, just yesterday?

Who now shares my time

And who now makes my bed?

Who now lies beside me?

Who now holds my head?

Who knows all my thoughts

And every word I say?

She’s the girl who stood beside me

As I looked into the mirror, yesterday.

Whose voice did I hear when bells where ringin’

Silent bird that started singin’ yesterday?

Who then said, “Come sit beside me

Oh, my darlin, don’t deny me,” yesterday?

Who now shares my time

And who now makes my bed?

Who now lies beside me

When I hold my head?

Who knows all my thoughts

And every word I say?

She's the girl who stood beside me

As I looked into the mirror, yesterday.

Yes, the girl who stood beside me

As I looked into the mirror, yesterday
