He's wearing that same crooked smile
I can truthfully say that I know how he felt
I thought I'd never see him again
I thought I'd never see him again
When I fixed his little plane with the one piece left
And gray hairs from extra miles
I thought I'd never see him again
But the only friend I'd grow up to meet
To the man in the mirror
He looked at me in a way I never saw myself
But little did I know I'd turn in
'Cause he was too old fashioned when I was 16
He knew nothing was stronger than the power of love
Not near as smart as my buddies and me
He's wearing that same crooked smile
Now the man in the mirror looks so familiar
But time would prove anything could change
Sometimes without talking he still taught us
Now I realized just how wise he was
Same lines of worry, kids growing up too early
In the eyes of a child he was no less than great
But little did I know I'd turn in
'Cause just the other night when my son needed help
And gray hairs from extra miles
His strong hands of justice would end with a hug
Little did I know I'd turn in
The same lines of worry, kids growing up too early
Now the man in the mirror looks so familiar
Got called home just shy of 63
To the man in the mirror
