Gone, Just Like Yesterday

Today I saw her face, in the bathhroom mirror She had the sadest face, with a lonely tear I reached to touch her, but she faded away Her image gone, just like yesterday I moved to my dresser, not thinking clear When her face appeared, in the dresser mirror A tear rolled off my cheek, as I searched for something to say As again she was gone, just like yesterday I thought I was dreaming, so I just got dressed Then I went to the kitchen, for my morning breakfast Poured some cereal, for I had to leave by ten When there in the milk, I saw her face again I tried to speak, with a lump in my throat But nothing came out, so I just grabbed my coat I Picked up the bowl, set in the drain When again she was gone, just like yesterday I walked to my car, tears running down my face Wondering why, she keeps haunting me this way When there she was, in the rear view mirror I yelled out I love you, and miss you my dear And that I was sorry, that I drank that night Just wish you'd forgive me, for the accident That's when she whisperd I love you, and said it's ok Then she was gone, just like yesterday
