The Supremes — Reflections
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through 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 mine
As 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 vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you

Released in 1967. I was 12yrs old and I bought the 45. WMCA 570 AM NYC (The Good Guys) a 5kw top 40 station used to play it a lot. They played a lot of great music before WABC 770 AM, a 50kw top10 radio station would put it on it's playlist. WMCA was in the forefront of playing Black Artists & counter-culture music.

Forgot it was the theme song to China Beach, a show I haven't seen since the Geo. Bush 1 years. I heard it was coming out on DVD, so I'll have to check out an episode or 2.
8 and half years since this was played??No good Bill!
One of their last hits and then theme from China Beach which ingrained it even more into the late 60's psyche.

Ah yes, the Supremes go psychedelic. Memories of CKLW "Radio 8-0 " in Windsor Ontario (across the bridge from the Motor City).
Great tune. Tres Nostalgic.
