Reflections (in the eyes of a child)
Music and Lyrics by Michael Aloi
©2004
I was walking down the street late Christmas eve this year
I saw visions of an angel in the child that appeared
I had somehow lost my faith as the day was growing late Until I
looked into the eyes of this child Until I
looked into the eyes of this child
And there were lines upon my face, a smile that somehow time erased But not the
memories of the dreams that used to be
The world moves oh so fast sometimes we forget (about) the past But history
paves the path to who we are today
And our childhood dreams are always there to lead the way
I used to dream of who I?d be, now I hope that?s the man I?ll see
Then I realized I had it all the while
When I looked into the eyes of this child
I saw?
A childhood lost, just like Santa Claus and puppy dogs and endless walks
The simple things like best friend talks?. Oh how I missed those days
Stayin up past 9 and Dinnertime? when cleanin plates meant chocolate cake
And sittin by the fireside , Dad lettin go on that first bike ride
Instrumental then modulate ½ step
From Santa Clause and endless walks, new puppy dogs and best friend talks
Staying up past 9 and dinnertime, when cleanin plates meant chocolate cake
And Countin down the exit signs on summertime vacation rides
And Sittin by the Fireside
oh how I miss those special times
But somehow now that night, it all came back for a while
when I took the time to look into the eyes of that child
Now it?s next year on Christmas eve and there are smiles on all I see
It?s reflecting back on them, in the eyes of this child they see
But in their eyes it so clear, cause reflecting back on me,,, I see the eyes of this child?(pause) is me
Yes in the eyes of that child I found me?.
Play melody out?.
