Joni

Sunday night, was bored you see

I did something I do rarely

No, not anything crazy

Watched the Grammys on TV

 

I saw a woman on the stage

A woman of a certain age

I thought 'I know her..omg!

Could that be you, Joni?'

 

I thought 'My god, what the hell!

It's you! It's you, Joni Mitchell!

Excuse me but I must be told

When did you get so old?'

 

I really must apologize

Looking at her through different eyes

The eyes I had when I was young

And all her songs I sung

 

Want to see who's old? Not her

Take a look in the mirror

You happy with what you see?

Not like you used to be

 

At least I have the memory

Of hours spent, listening to she

Of all the artists I recall

Joni, you're the best of all!
