Lyrics
Christina In the Mirror
by Steven James Zdroik
Well almost every night I see
Christina gazing casually
Out her bedroom window
Blowing smoke into the street
Then she?ll turn her attention into the room
Pretending that sometime soon
The wine glass in her hand will become
A pretty bouquet of flowers
She watches her reflection for hours and hours and then says
Steven, I?m afraid it?s clear, the only thing right now I fear
Is seeing Christina in the Mirror, Christina in the Mirror
Wrapped only in a sheet and frown
She wears her misery, like a gown
But lately she?s been noticing
The fit?s been getting tight
So she?ll start to powder her face
And call for me to take a place
Beside her while she checks to see
If her lines are getting longer
Her disatisfaction grows stronger and Stronger when she says
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Build Up and Chorus)
