AShe paints her lips a brilliant red
AsusPiles her hair high on her head
AStruggles to reEplace a false eyeAlash
She Epowders up her face
Paints her Dcheeks to match her lips
She wears a dress cut low in the front
Fittin  tAight around her hips
And Ethere inside her room
She stands and Dgazes at herself
Where Ebeauty lives in memory

Chorus:
AMirror, mirror on the wall

AsusAnd was by all adored
AThey say she was the Efairest of them Aall

AsusAnd they say that every fella
AWould gladly answer Eto her beck and Acall
ESo the story went

AStole her heart and Ewandered far Aaway
AHe took her heart and took her mind
ANow she has lost all track of time
AForty years has Epassed and still she Awaits singing

AsusThe shads are pulled it's half past noon 
ABut in her mind why it's Eforty years Aago
AShe recalls the beauty of their love
AsusShe remembers he was beautiful
AAnd of course she always knew she was
EAnd so the past unfAolds
EAnd all at once inside her mind
She Dsees him at the door
AAnd as he's leading her away 
She feels the room begin to sway
Where beauty lives in memory
She falls Edead upon the fAloor
AMirror, mirror on the wall
AsusWho's the fairest of them all

Smiles at her reflection

Striking sexy poses in the glass

She paints her lips a brilliant red

Piles her hair high on her head

Struggles to replace a false eyelash

She powders up her face

Paints her cheeks to match her lips

Fittin tight around her hips

And there inside her room

She stands and gazes at herself

Where beauty lives in memory

She lives in fairy tales

Would gladly answer to her beck and call

So the story went

They tell of how this handsome prince

She falls dead upon the floor

Mirror, mirror on the wall
