Just The Other Day
Words & Music by Edgar Montes De Oca copyright Sept 95’

I saw myself in the mirror today

And I was wondering how long it’s gonna take

To want myself to change myself to be myself

To know myself but somehow I can’t re-arrange

I need it I want it I know it’s my decision

To be lonely to be happy anyway

But everyday as I go on my egos back my self won’t grow

I can’t understand a single word I say

I thought I saw her just the other day

And the rush throughout my body made me wild

I know we’re part of history

no one knows it more than me

But I’d give anything for one more smile

I’m gonna get it together I know I can

I’m as good as any man

I’m gonna clear my senses notice everything

All the pieces the colors from the mountain

The pieces fall below me as the colors fade away

Maybe that’s what the law means

The poets’ trying to tease me

And all this time I just can’t face the truth

I thought I saw her just the other day

And the rush throughout my body made me wild

I know we’re part of history

no one knows it more than me

But I’d give anything for one more smile

I nearly lost my mind you know

I saw her just the other day

I wonder if I’ll ever compromise

I lost that love so long ago

Apart of me just can’t let go and

I’d give anything for one more smile
