Henry, was that you in the mirror?
I thought I saw your face today
When I stepped out of the shower
There you were, not very far away
It was just a glimpse or two
But I could swear that it was you
Looking just the way you did
When I was a kid
Henry, was that you in the mirror?
Or has time only played a trick on me
It seemed just like I saw you there
Tell me now, how can that be?
Well, your hair's a little thin
But I saw a little grin
That I remember long ago
In a place we used to know
Now I haven't seen you for long
Imagine my surprise
That I should look and see your face
Right before my eyes
Henry, was that you in the mirror?
Seems funny you would turn up now
Here when the summer is over
Here when time furrows the brow
You were there in front of me
You were there and I could see
As I sat in the chair
Ran a comb through my hair
Henry, was that you in the mirror?
I thought I saw your face today
When I stepped out of the shower
There you were, not very far away
And as I stared into the glass
I thought, how strange to see
Henry, you sure look a lot like me
