mirror...

i can't find who i really am
this young boy is now a man
lost in his eyes are the tears of pain
from the love ones that he has lost
i use to hide behind the old oak trees
now the darkness won't let my soul roam free
i use to stand in front of my mirror
as time flew away from me
now i am a father of two
as i witness the birth of hope
that one day, they can set my soul free
as i get lost in their sea blue eyes
even though the mirror often lies
it will show you, what you want to see
i have seen a lifetime of memories
and it is now my time to fade away
i am a man lost in my own reflection
cast by the shadows from the mirror
of the man i could only dream of being
i have lived a life full of joy and sorrow
i have seen life and walked next to death
but inside my soul there's a fire that burns
as the pages of my life, melts away.
The only thing left of me, lies within the mirror
the mirror that's hung on my bedroom wall
now my wife holds my aging hand
i wipe away her tears, don't fear death my love
i will now become an angel to watch you from above
don't let Isabel or Edgar see my decaying body
i will stay here to guard you from the night
and within this mirror my soul will sleep
as i watch you in your final hours
until you come back to me.. my dear sweet love of mine.
