| She handed me a mirror |
| That she had gazed upon |
| The glass still held an image |
| The glass still held an image |
| But it was of a man |
| I turned from the reflection |
| To see who it might be |
| Is that poor vanity |
| Quite how she pictures me? |
| She handed me a mirror |
| Rather than tell me «no» |
| She let slip a handkerchief |
| Gentle laughter flowed |
| Just as her lips bestowed |
| A dashing word like «brother» |
| The crushing word like «friend» |
| If there was no beginning |
| How could this be the end? |
| She handed me a mirror |
| So i could recognize |
| The distance from my heart to hers |
| The distance from my heart to hers |
| The pity in her eyes |
| She liked my pretty story |
| I thanked her for her song |
| And then i wrote a tale not very long to tell |
| «You are much more than pretty. |
| You are beautiful.» |
| She handed me mirror |
| But i saw her instead |
| She handed me a mirror |
| She handed me a mirror |
| And that is all she did… |
