    • Verse 1
    Mama 
    told 
    me 
    of 
    a 
    beauty 
    that 

    is 
    made 
    of 
    purest 
    gold. 

    One 
    the 
    weather 
    will 
    not 
    tar
    nish, 

    one 
    that 
    never 
    will 
    grow 
    old. 

    She 
    said, 
    beauty 
    comes 
    from 
    understanding, 

    look
    ing 
    at 
    the 
    thing
    s we 
    see. 

    Beauty 
    of 
    the 
    human 
    spirit, 

    beauty 
    that 
    will 
    set 
    us 
    free. 

    Here 
    in a 
    house 
    with 
    shuttered 
    windows, 

    lives 
    a 
    dancer 
    tall 
    and 
    fair. 

    Light 
    of 
    rainbows, 
    many, 

    many 
    colors 

    Crowned 
    with 
    scarlet 
    and 
    purple 
    hair 

    It's 
    been 
    said, 

    Larry 

    Nelson 

    Has 
    been 
    never, 
    ever 
    seen 

    That 
    in 
    the 
    house 
    there 
    lives 
    a 
    wretched 
    soul, 

    cold 
    and 
    mean 

    But 
    the 
    merry, 

    merry 
    dancer 
    always 
    makes 
    his 
    presence 
    known 

    When 
    you 
    stand 
    before 
    the 
    mirror, 

    in 
    the 
    secret 
    of 
    the 
    throne. 

    There 
    is 
    a 
    golden 
    mirror 
    on 

    the 
    temple 
    wall 

    Lighted 
    by 
    a 
    candle 

    Shin
    ing 
    through 
    the 
    hallway 

    Red 
    and 
    purple 
    colors 

    Flam
    ing 
    with 
    desire 

    Dance 
    before 
    the 
    mirror 

    Reflect
    ing 
    holy 
    fire 

    See 
    the 

    Spirit, 

    Mary's 

    Spir
    it 

    In 
    the 
    mirror 
    stand
    ing 
    there 

    When 
    you 
    stand 
    before 
    the 
    mirror, 

    you 
    will 
    see 
    the 
    golden 
    stair. 

    Free, 
    free from 
    care 
    and 
    worry 

    Im
    ages 
    of 
    grace 

    Dance 
    before 
    the 
    mirror 

    Whirl 
    in 
    time 
    and 
    space 

    Whirl 
    and 
    shine 
    and 
    shimmer 

    Purple, 
    green 
    and 
    blue 

    Dance 
    before 
    the 
    mirror 

    Aurora, 

    Boreal
    is, 
    you 

    Dance 
    before 
    the 
    mirror 

    Dance, 
    dance 
    the night 
    away 

    Dance 
    before 
    the 
    mirror 

    till 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    day 

    There 
    is 
    an 
    ancient 
    mirror 

    made 
    of 
    purest 
    gold 

    When 
    you 
    stand 
    before 
    the 
    mirror, 

    you 
    will 
    see 
    the 
    dance 
    un
    fold. 

    When 
    you 
    stand 
    before

    mirror 

    See 
    the 
    dance,

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
