Age, Has tale tell signs that show up in the mirror Reminding us of things we’ve done When I look into the mirror I still see my childhood self I sit across from you and wonder How 8 year old me Knows such a mature, intelligent grownup Who knew that fleeting moments gather at the end? I smile A genuinely happy smile and chuckle I have no words to explain How absurd life is How funny time is How we’re still standing And until this very moment I was that kid Who returned a shy whisper across the aisle Without a thought of the future So I smile A genuinely happy smile and chuckle Because everything has changed And nothing has At the same time

Age, Has tale tell signs that show up in the mirror Reminding us of things we’ve done When I look into the mirror I still see my childhood self I sit across from you and wonder How 8 year old me Knows such a mature, intelligent grownup Who knew that fleeting moments gather at the end? I smile A genuinely happy smile and chuckle I have no words to explain How absurd life is How funny time is How we’re still standing And until this very moment I was that kid Who returned a shy whisper across the aisle Without a thought of the future So I smile A genuinely happy smile and chuckle Because everything has changed And nothing has At the same time
