The Guy in the Glass<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,<br /> <br /> And the world makes you King for a day,<br /> <br /> Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,<br /> <br /> And see what that guy has to say.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For it isn&#039;t your Father, or Mother, or Wife,<br /> <br /> Who judgement upon you must pass.<br /> <br /> The feller whose verdict counts most in your life<br /> <br /> Is the guy staring back from the glass.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> He&#039;s the feller to please, never mind all the rest,<br /> <br /> For he&#039;s with you clear up to the end,<br /> <br /> And you&#039;ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test<br /> <br /> If the guy in the glass is your friend.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You may be like Jack Horner and &quot;chisel&quot; a plum,<br /> <br /> And think you&#039;re a wonderful guy,<br /> <br /> But the man in the glass says you&#039;re only a bum<br /> <br /> If you can&#039;t look him straight in the eye.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,<br /> <br /> And get pats on the back as you pass,<br /> <br /> But your final reward will be heartaches and tears<br /> <br /> If you&#039;ve cheated the guy in the glass.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dale Wimbrow (c) 1934 <br /> <br /> 1895-1954
