In the blue hazy morn, I flicked a switch for the overhead bathroom light
One look at the mirror above the sink and I had a terrible fright
For I am but twenty three years old, in my 24th year am I
But the man who looked at the mirror at me had wrinkles around his eyes
His hair was black but streaked with grey, and his face was sagging and round
And looking at the rest of him, he had put on many a pound
But he looked oh so familiar in the nose, the chin and the eyes
For staring back was an older me, much to my shock and surprise
Was I still dreaming in my bed, imagining this whole scene
Of me thirty years later, what could the whole thing mean?
Cause I turn twenty three today, today is my birthday you see
Yes twenty three as I was born on February Three
But then there’s the matter of the year it’s a round number ending in Oh
Born in 1960, that makes me 23,, wait, that’s 53…. D’oh!
