This 1967 hit single by the Supremes represented two major innovations in the Motown sound. Firstly, its arrangement incorporated the psychedelic rock of their contemporaries like the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Secondly, it was one of the first hits to use electronic instruments, with the unusual...
[Intro]
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
[Chorus]
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
A distorted reality
[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 a hurt I can't control
[Chorus]
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holdin' on
To the happy times
Ooh, when you were mine
[Post-Chorus]
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterday
And all the love I gave all in vain
[Bridge]
(All the love)
All the love that I've wasted
(All the tears)
All the tears that I've tasted
All in vain
[Verse 2]
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 a love that used to be
[Chorus]
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
[Post-Chorus]
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of lovin' you
[Chorus]
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

Songwriter/producer Lamont Dozier wrote this about this song:
When we started out at Motown there was so much promise. Miracles were realized, love was good, but then it went bad. Disenchantment spoiled the dream. Memories are now all that’s left. We tried so many unique instrumental and vocal soun...
