The make up comes off and I can't stop the clock,
As I look at the face in the mirror
At times when I do, I see more of the moon
And less of the sun in her hair
Those tiny fine lines, traces of time, make me wonder
Are you still there?

Face in the Mirror,
Is the girl with the kelly green eyes
And the same lips he's gonna be kiss'n goodnight
The Face in the Mirror,
Is only disguised for a while
Her secret is out when she smiles
And I can't help but see, yeah I see
It's perfectly clear; the face in the mirror is still me

Lipstick and powder, might last a few hours
But then we get down to the truth
At the end of the day I'm still happy to say
I'm proud to be someone like you
' Cause looks are perception,
My life's a reflection of the face I'm looking into

Face in the Mirror,
Is the girl with the kelly green eyes
And the same lips he's gonna be kiss'n goodnight
Face in the Mirror,
Is only disguised for a while
Her secret is out when she smiles
And I can't help but see, yeah I see
It's perfectly clear; the face in the mirror is still me

Face in the Mirror
Is only disguised for a while
Her secret is out when she smiles
And I can't help but see, I see
It's perfectly clear; the Face in the Mirror
Is still me...

She's still me!
