Man In The Mirror - Mark Chesnutt

I used to sit on the stool

Watch him shaveIf my memory is right I was 7 or 8

In the eyes of a child he was no less than great

But time would prove any’thing could change

Cus’he was 2 old fashioned When I was 16

Not near as smart As my buddies an me

But the only friend I’ve grow up to need

Got called home jus shy of 63

Now the man in the mirror

Looks so familiar

He’s wearin that same crocked smile

Same lines of worry

Kids growin up to early & grey hairs from extra mouths

I thought I’d never see him agin

But little did I know I’d turn in

To the man in the mirror

Now I realise

Just how wise he was

Sometimes without talkin

He still taught us

His strong hands of justice

Would end with ay hug

He knew nothing was stronger

Than the power of love

I can truthfully say

That I know how he felt

Cus jus the other night

When my son needed help

When I fixed his little plane

With the one piece left

He looked at me in a way

I never saw myself

Now the man in the mirror

Looks so familiar

He’s wearin that same crocked smile

Same lines of worry kids growin up to early & grey hairs from extra mouths

I thought I’d never see him agin

But little did I know I’d turn in

I thought I’d never see him agin

But little did I know I’d turn in
