Repeat Performance

Sometimes, I look in the mirror And all I see is glass Sometimes, I look into my own eyes All I see is you Now, somebody tell me, just what does that mean? Meanings...always searching for meaning The meaning of things, of this, of that, of us But, I wonder if this means anything Anything at all... And, no, I didn't sleep well And, no, I'm not really okay I've tried to pretend, I've tried to smile But, my smile's not the same I've never been sure of what the whole thing meant I had myself fooled, you did too And I can't believe this God, you were so cold You turned my blood to ice Numbed me, for a while But, now, now I'm not quite so numb I wish I was... Was it all a dream? Was it all a joke? Was it what it what it seemed... And I loved the time, but not the in between Sadly, I never had a chance to bask in the afterglow Because the light quickly faded... Faded, like the edges of an old photograph In the scrapbook of my mind Crumbling, and yellow, but treasured still... Still...how still it is tonight The breeze has ceased its tantrum And the stars have come out, to play I see the ghost of the moon, smiling at me Like the Cheshire cat Such a peacefull scene... Scene two...now the final act is over Time for a curtain call, my dear Take a bow, love, for a wonderfull show You acted the part so well It was the role you were born to play And I wonder, if you could tell me If there will ever be a repeat performance?
