WHO DO YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR?

Who is that lady standing over there?
the one with the tears in her eyes
she seems so gentle and caring to me
who could have made her cry?

Looking in her face covered with age
the years have been many and long
she seems so lost now, standing there
singing the same old song

Her gray hair is tinted with silver
those brown eyes have grown pale
her hands are wrinkled with time now
her burdens she wears like a veil

Standing in front of the mirror
reflections always shine through
what seems like someone else
turns out to be just you.
