The first single credited to 'Diana Ross and the Supremes'; better known
decades later as the theme from the American TV series 'China Beach'.
Available in true stereo on _Diana Ross and the Supremes' Greatest Hits
Vol. III_; on a good system you can hear those weird beeps bouncing all
around your room. (You can also hear a couple of extremely crude splices
before each repeat of the chorus at the end.)
This is in Bb, but I think the 45 was sped up to B. Anyone have an original
pressing to compare'
"Reflections"

RefGblections Dbof
The love you tGbook from Dbme
Post-chorus 1:
Gbmaj7I'm all alone now,Ebm/Bb no love to shFmield me
Bbm AbTrapped in a world that's
A distorted reGbality
Verse 2:
Bb [as per verse 1]
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm cryin'
Reflects the hurt I can't control
Chorus 2:
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy time, ooh
When you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Lookin' over my yesterday
And all the love I gave all to you
Bridge:
Bb/ / (EbAll Dmthe lGmove) All the love that I've wasted
(EbAll Dmthe tGmears) All the tears that I've tasted
Eb Dm Gm Gb Ebm6/Gb F Bb

Ooh, yeah
Verse 3:
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
Chorus 3:
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
Post-chorus 3:
After all the nights I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you
[repeat chorus 1]
[repeat chorus 3; fade]
