Not a day goes by that you don't run through my mind?

This is a loose and grammatically illogical use of "that" to link two ideas. It would pass in casual language but is not really very good English.

Thank you. Can you please rewrite it in a logical way?

"when" may be more logical than "that". However, having looked at some Google results, it seems that some people think "Not a day goes by that ..." is the correct form. It seems grammatically unjustified to me, but perhaps some other forum members here could comment.

Actually, sorry, it may be the same as:

"the day on which I met you" -> "the day that I met you"

So "that" is used as a loose-ish but accepted substitute for a meaning like "on which".

For some reason "Not a day goes by that I ..." sounds more faulty to me than "the day that I met you".
