Another song needing exploration


I JUST SEE YOU
Written by Tracy Newman
As recorded by Tracy Newman and the Reinforcements on "I Just See You" (2012)

There’s a mirror on the bookcase,
In the hallway by the stairs.
She always steals a look when she walks by.
She stops to clean her glasses,
Shakes her head and heaves a sigh
She can’t believe the lines around her eyes.

Her husband’s in the den but he can hear her.
He comes out and steps between her and the mirror, saying…

Let me be your looking glass.
Look at me when you walk past
And see yourself the way I do.
I don’t see young; I don’t see old; I just see you.

He takes a walk out to the driveway
With a bucket and a sponge.
He’s finally gonna wash her Cherokee.
He takes his shirt off as he passes
The window on the driver’s side
And sees a belly where a six-pack used to be.

He laughs, but she knows how it upsets him.
She comes out and steps between him and his reflection, saying…

Let me be your looking glass.
Look at me when you walk past
And see yourself the way I do.
I don’t see young; I don’t see old; I just see you.

On days when it feels like the mirror doesn’t love you,
Remember I do,

And let me be your looking glass.
Look at me when you walk past
And see yourself the way I do.
I don’t see young; I don’t see old; I just see you.
I don’t see young; I don’t see old; I just see you.
