The Old Man in the Mirror - Written and Spoken by Hank Beukema He said he did it for the wife and the kids And he got so close he could taste it But the old man in the mirror Caught his eye and he said Its long past time that you faced it. You sang it all wrong, Yeah, you wrote the damn song But all you ever did was waste it. He sees them kissing in the park He sees them driving through the dark Memories so strong he can taste her But then he hears the refrain All you gave them was pain and He knows he can never replace her. He said he did it for the wife and the kids And then he spent every bit of their savings But the old man in the mirror Caught his eye and he said But You never stopped feeding your cravings. You sang it all wrong Yeah, you wrote the damn song. Now you walk the streets all night raving. He sees them tossing the ball on the lawn He sees the Yankees, a childs picture drawn The boys face lights up then goes dim But then he hears the refrain All you gave them was pain and He knows he can never replace him. He sees them kissing in the park He sees them driving through the dark Memories so strong he can taste her But then he hears the refrain All you gave them was pain and He knows he can never replace her The old man in the mirror Caught his eye and he said Its long past time that you faced it. You sang it all wrong, Yeah, you wrote the damn song But all you ever did was waste it. Hank Beukema Copyright revbuckmanmusic 2014
