Reflections (in the eyes of a child)

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?.
