There are some rare songs which make you want to immediately sing it to someone. Like Lovely Rita or Fly me to the moon or Main koi aisa geet gaoon or Chanda re. Yet there some other songs, rarer still which make you want to find someone who will sing it to you. These days, I want someone to sing I'll be your mirror by The Velvet Underground and Nico to me. With backing vocals and guitar and all. It would be an added bonus if they had an accent like Nico's.

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror
