Perfection

You look in the mirror 
Perfection you cannot find 
Even though it’s there 
It won’t be in your mind 

All you see are flaws 
Even those that are not there 
You really should be looking 
Much deeper then the mirror 

A pretty face, a dime a dozen 
No flesh could compare 
A purer one, there never was 
Why the world can’t help but stare 

You're light's what leaves me breathless 
A loveliness beyond match 
Can’t you see your perfection 
Just by looking in my eyes
