hey you there in the mirror lyrics

Hey, you there in the mirror
I didn't know you had a smile
Well, I've watched the canyons on your face
Grow deeper with the miles
With your heart ain't barely beating
And your spirit black and blue
An' I was sure that you were headed
For an early Waterloo

Hey, you there in the mirror
What happened to your frown?
That twinkle in those smiling eyes
Is shining like a crown
You must have met somebody
With compassion in her heart
Who looked upon your haggard face
And saw the work of art

Hey, you there in the mirror
You're comin' back to light
And just beyond your shoulders
See the reason why
She is here being that as a lover
As the lady at my side
Hey, you there in the mirror
Ain't me lookin' you and I

Hey, you there in the mirror
Well ain't you lookin' proud
And not long ago you harbored thoughts
Of throwin' in the towel
Each day you're feelin' stronger
There's new life in your blood
Why I never thought that weathered face
Would look so good in love

Hey, you there in the mirror
You're comin' back to light
And just behind your shoulders
I see the reason why
She is here being that as a lover
As the lady at my side
Hey, you there in the mirror
Ain't me lookin' you and I

Hey you there in the mirror
Ain't me lookin' you and I
