Story Behind The Song
I looked in the mirror one day and looked very haggered, but I didn't feel bad. So I thought, why should we feel bad about getting older? Then I wrote this song.
Song Description
Instead of hiding our lines with Botox, embrace the memories that put them there. A person with laugh lines, is a person who has laughed. Our past makes us who we are.

Lyrics
LINES ON MY FACE
words & music by James A. Nelson 071003
Lines on my face; they can tell you my story
But, you won?t believe all that they have to say
Lines on my face; obtained from yesterday?s glory
Are here to remind me of what?s to become of this day
And if you believe in miracles
And life that breathes in fairytales
Then you?d believe in a love that?s true
The way that I believe in you
Lines on my face; they can tell no lies
To better receive me, take a good look into my eyes
Lines on my face; appear to me when I sleep
A small trip back in time ? when I prayed for my soul you?d keep
And if you believe in miracles
And life that breathes in fairytales
Then you?d believe in a love that?s true
The way that I believe in you
Lines on my face; a reflection of a better man
A mirrored image of living someone else?s plan
Lines on my face; help me keep my secrets mine
A history of fame and shame, within the wrinkles of my mind
And if you believe in miracles
And life that breathes in fairytales
Then you?d believe in a love that?s true
Then you would see the way
And we could find a way
If you'd just see the way
The way that I believe in you
