Story Behind The Song
I used to have a mirror on my piano, because it was an old modified upright that was once a player piano. This song was the result, but I have since removed the mirror.

Lyrics
green eyes, in the glass
staring back that way
calm, assured, unafraid:
you seem much older today
it's as if something young
hov'ring deep inside
had at long last begun
to show strength that I hide
and that chin, jutting out,
critical 'neath a quizzical stare;
defying fear,
destroying doubt.
time for a change,
that's what you declare!
green eyes in the glass,
blinking back at me;
do you see what I see;
come a new reflection of me?
and that chin, jutting out,
critical, 'neath a quizzical stare;
defying fear,
destroying doubt.
change has come,
you're well aware.
green eyes, shining in the glass,
winking back that way;
you do see what I see --
a new reflection today.
