Lyrics

That Face

I see a face that face is mine

The mirror marks the changing time

Her face I'll never see again

And mine will never be the same

That face was fine only yesterday

My problems seemed so far away

Reflections I see of myself

As in sickness as in health

As she left as for worse

No chance to re-rehearse

Try to forget try not to see

Who is that face looking at me

Reflections of yesterday

If only I could make you stay

One day past is like a year

She wouldn't say what made her leave

I didn't think she'd ever go

And why she did I'll never know

I wish I could return and see

But now it's just a memory

Reflections of yesterday

Reflections of yesterday

I see a face that face is mine

The mirror marks the changing time

Her face I'll never see again

And mine will never be the same

Reflections of yesterday

Reflections of yesterday
