Remembering Yesterday

This song is part fact, part fiction. It's primarily about how when you're not around someone, sometimes it's hard to recall their face in your memory. I expanded on that point and fictionalized it to sound better (like "...how it feels to hold your hand, to cry and know you understand..." ...totally fictionalized).

Verse 1
I'm remembering your face,
Like a painful memory,
Like a shadow through the fog.

Pre-chorus
I'm starting to forget.
It's been too long, can't you see?
That I've already forgotten...

Chorus
How your face looks when you smile,
How your eyes twinkle,
How your cheeks wrinkle,
How your hair falls in your eyes.
I'm starting to forget,
I've already forgotten
How it feels to hold your hand,
To cry and know you understand.
I can hardly remember,
It feels like forever,
But it was only yesterday.

Verse 2
I'm painting your face,
But it came out a blur.
How can I picture/relate what I can't remember?
