GIRL THAT STOOD BESIDE ME, THE
(Jeffry Stevens)


Bobby Darin - 1966
Grant Adams & Ed Gregory - 1967
Peter Belli & Four Roses - 1967





Whose face did I see beside me 
When I looked into the mirror yesterday
Whose eyes opened wide
And who has tried to keep my spirits 
High through yesterday

Who now shares my life and fears whenever I cry
Who becomes my wife and fears the day I die
Who now knows my thoughts and every word I say
She's the girl who stood beside me
When I looked into the mirror yesterday

Who then gave her 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 when I hold my head
Who knows all my thoughts and every word I say
She's the girl who stood beside me 
When I looked into the mirror yesterday

(Instrumental Break)

Who's voice did I hear when bells were ringin'
Silent birds 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
When I looked into the mirror yesterday
Yes, the girl who stood beside me
When I looked into the mirror yesterday
