The Supremes

The Supremes was an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Originally founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, the Supremes' repertoire included doo-wop, pop, soul, Broadway show tunes, psychedelic soul, and disco. They were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Most of these hits were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland. At their peak in the mid-1960s, the Supremes rivaled the Beatles in worldwide popularity, and their success made it possible for future African American R&B and soul musicians to find mainstream success.

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, ahhh, with only memories.
Through the mirror of my mind,
Through these tears I'm crying
Reflects the 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) 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.
And 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 from loving you.

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.
And right before my eyes, my world has turned to dust.
Reflections of the way life used to be.
Reflections of the love you took from me.
