The Man In The Looking Glass
Words and Music by: Bart Howard

I've seen that face before,
That face in the mirror.
I know that face,
I've seen that face before
I knew that dopey guy
When he didn't know how to tie his tie,
He stood right there
And he had hair galore!
The man in the looking glass,
Who can he be?
The man in the looking glass,
Can he possibly be me?
Where's our young romeo,
The lad who used to sigh?
Who's the middle-aged Lothario
With the twinkle in his eye?
He seems so much wiser now,
Less lonely but then
Could be he's only pretending again.
Man in the looking glass,
Smiling away,
How's your sacroiliac today?
So, where's your first love affair,
That "tragedy d'amour"!
The true love you thought would be
The end of you, for sure!
Man in the looking glass,
Have no regrets
The man who is wise,
Never forgets that
Life is worth living,
If once in a while
You can look in that looking glass
And smile! |
