    Story Behind the Song
    I had had the experience described in the song, where I saw a picture of myself as an adult and was startled to see the face of my mother when I was a little girl. I wrote part of the lyric and called my sister, Michele, with the idea. She's a fantastic songwriter and was intrigued with the idea, so we both set to work on it together. It was a joy to write - I have no idea how long it took because we were both having such a good time.

    Lyrics



    THE WHEEL OF TIME



    I WAS STARIN' AT A PICTURE
    THAT WAS STARIN' BACK AT ME
    THOUGH THE FACE WAS SO FAMILIAR
    I WONDERED WHO THAT GIRL COULD BE
    SHE LOOKED JUST LIKE MY MOTHER
    TWENTY YEARS AGO
    THE WAY SHE LOOKED WHEN I WAS SEVEN
    DRESSED IN MY OWN CLOTHES.


    AND THE WHEEL OF TIME KEEPS TURNIN' ROUND AND ROUND
    SO QUIETLY YOU NEVER HEAR A SOUND
    THE CHILD SLIPS OUT THE BACK DOOR
    BEFORE THE BREAK OF DAWN
    AND YOU WAKE UP TEN YEARS LATER
    AND SHE'S GONE.

    YESTERDAY I HELD A BABY
    AND I TOUCHED HER TINY FACE
    AND THIS MORNING WHEN I LOOKED UP
    I FOUND A WOMAN IN HER PLACE
    SHE HANDED ME MY GRANDCHILD
    AND WHEN I HELD HER TENDERLY
    I COULD HAVE SWORN I FELT MY MOTHER
    STANDING NEXT TO ME.

    (REPEAT CHORUS)

    (INST. BREAK)

    (REPEAT CHORUS)
