When winters have past my friend
Will we then understand
That everything will last
People pass by our homes
Never knowing who we are
Or whom we might be
For life is a looking glass
One in which we see ourselves
But never recognize
For life is a looking glass you know
A looking glass you know
One in which we see
I have seen the depths of the soul
I have felt the sorrows of old
Days have past will always last I'm told
Youth forgotten dreams gone by
When winters have past my friend
Will we then understand
That everything will last
People pass by our homes
Never knowing who we are
Or whom we might be
For life is a looking glass
One in which we see ourselves
But never recognize
When winters have past my friend
Will we then understand
That everything will last
People pass by our homes
Never knowing who we are
Or whom we might be
For life is a looking glass you know
A looking glass you know
One in which we see
Wintertime comes to pass when spring arrives
Snow topped mountains just like life melts away
Then comes back to see a bright new day
Then we're free to be who we please
When winters have past my friend
Will we then understand
That everything will last
That everything will last
That everything will last
For life is a looking glass
