Reflections Lyrics


Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and meReflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from meOh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted realityHappiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memoriesThrough the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mineAs I peer through the window
Of lost time

Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vainThrough the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have causedEverywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to beIn you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dustAfter all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving youReflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from meIn you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

The Supremes were a very successful motown all-female singing group active from 1959 until 1977, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, soul, broadway showtunes, psychedelia, and disco. One of Motown's signature acts, The Supremes were the most successful African-American musical act of the 1960s, recording twelve #1 hits between 1964 and 1969, many of them written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The crossover success of the Supremes during the mid-1960s paved the way for future black soul and R&B acts to gain mainstream audiences both in the United States and overseas.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States in 1959, The Supremes began as a quartet called The Primettes. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglas public housing project in Detroit, were the sister act to The Primes (later The Temptations). In 1960, Barbara Martin replaced McGlown, and the group signed with Motown in 1961 as The Supremes. Martin left at the end of 1961, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio. After they achieved success in the mid-1960s with Ross as the lead singer, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left the group for a solo career in 1970, and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977.
