When Beauty Runs Out

Song theme -- Aging with grace

I can see right through you
And just below the surface
Lies another beautiful face
In a make believe situation
If you lost your looks
Would you still have style
Still have grace?

The hours you spend
Putting on your face
Only washes down the drain
Take off that false face
The make-up won’t cover up
Your aging expression
Be yourself no more deception.

Chorus:
When beauty fails you
And every critic has taken a shot
I’ll be there to hold you
Because without doubt
They’ll come a time when
You ask yourself what to do
When beauty runs out.

You emerge from your cocoon
With such a lovely smile
You pass the pool
See your reflection in the water?
You know you fooled them all again
You still look younger than your daughter.

But beauty fades fast
And time is passing
You can’t always rely on looks
For your protection
Be yourself no more deception.

Chorus:
Repeat
