I thought the outer use to comb my hair
When it was the inner you,showing that you cared
I thought the outer bandaged up my knee
When it was the inner you showing you loved me
\I thought the outer you caressed me with your hands
When it was the inner you showing you understand
I thought the outer you scorned me in my youth
When it was the inner you showing me the truth
\I thought the outer you made my life glow
When it was the inner you helping me to grow
I thought I loved the outer you with all my heart
When it was the inner you I loved from the start
\It's just been lately that it occurred to me
That what I loved most of all I really couldn't see
Only now I realize as before I didn't see
The inner part of you,is now an inner part of me
\I guess it's part of living as growing has its pain
I hope the inner me will some day do the same
Everlasting life maybe thats what it's meant to be
Outer yous passing inner yous to all the inner me's
