Mother In the Mirror
When I look in the mirror
I don't like what I see
Sometimes I wonder
Who IS this woman looking back at me
Once my hair was long and brown
My lips a rosy red
I hardly recognize this woman
With the thin white hair on her head
The once sparkling blue eyes
Look so tired and faded
The lovely life I used to live
Has left me feeling jaded
I guess I must get used to this
One way or another
It's just that I don't see ME anymore
It's like I'm looking at my MOTHER
