Mirror lyrics - David Gates

Little girl in the mirror looking back... lost in wonder...
Will I be pretty when I'm grown
When my teddy bears and toys give way
to going to school and boys
Will I have one of my own...

Will he be strong
True and faithful, right all wrong and will…
Will he take me where the grown-ups always go
Mirror, mirror tell me if you know.

Young girl in the mirror
Wedding day… lost in satin
You watch your life go flashing through
Will it be life a storybook rhyme
One last look and the preacher says it’s time
Time to say I do…

Will he be strong
True and faithful, right all wrong and if…
If I have doubts, will he say it isn’t so?
Mirror, mirror tell me if you know.

Little girl in the mirror
Looking back… lost in wonder
She feels her mommie’s gentle touch
I know what you’re thinking girl and…
I can’t guarantee a perfect world
But I promise you this much…

He will be strong
True and faithful, right all wrong and if…
If he will be, like your daddy’s been to me
You won’t need that mirror, girl you’ll see.
