1. I'll be your mirror
   Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
   I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
   The light on your door to show that you're home

   When you think the night has seen your mind
   That inside you're twisted and unkind
   Let me stand to show that you are blind
   Please put down your hands
   'Cause I see you

   I find it hard to believe you don't know
   The beauty that you are
   But if you don't let me be your eyes
   A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

   When you think the night has seen your mind
   That inside you're twisted and unkind
   Let me stand to show that you are blind
   Please put down your hands
   'Cause I see you

   I'll Be your Mirror / Lou Reed / The Velvet Underground & Nico / 1966
