Reflections - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Reflections of you, reflections of me I can't look it's the most beautiful thing That you've ever seen That you've ever heard of The ripples disperse us anyway So ask me again And go tell your friends About all of the things you said about me Well maybe if we're talking metaphorically The words round your head the ones that you thought Maybe it's just best not to say them at all Reflections of you, reflections of me I can't look it's the most beautiful thing That you've ever seen That you've ever heard of The ripples disperse us anyway It's time to pretend And talk to your friends About all of the things you've done without me Well maybe if we're speaking rhetorically The words round your head the ones that you thought I'm not your friend so don't tell me anymore

Everything I see is a reflection of my ego Everything I hear is an illusion in my head In a forest of realities I'm alone inside my tree house If that is who I am then who am I to judge? Come away There's a room I started building on the day the light came crashing Every corner holds a truth but they can never be connecting Childhood is a cup already empty once you taste it When the future is unwritten there's a lifetime left to waste it Come away All I am is a wave Crashing over matter into space All I am is a wave Waiting on the day for me to break All I am is a wave Crashing over matter into space All I am is a wave Waiting on the day I finally break.

You didn't close the door Left a crack open I couldn't ignore the faint possibility Of having hope in this insanity That we still could be But we're stuck floating in between Put me on the shelf, discipline myself To let the sparks die out Shattering anything That has reflections of you You You You Our eyes were closed with hearts open wide Dismissed every rule to abide by Our bodies undressed the layers of shy Revealing the truth that was buried inside Filled up feelings That now are bursting at the seams Put me on the shelf, discipline myself To let the sparks die out Shattering anything That has reflections of you You You You Unsure of what are my dreams, it seems You have stolen my slumber and awakened another Life within me that is better than any other Reaching endless heights in never ending nights That can't be seen, put to bed this dream Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Put me on the shelf, discipline myself To let the sparks die out Shattering anything That has reflections of you You You You

You were the sunshine, baby Whenever you smiled But I call you Stormy today All of a sudden that old rain's pouring down And our world is cloudy and gray You've gone away Oh, Stormy Oh, Stormy Bring back that sunny day Yesterday's love was like the warm summer breeze But, like the weather, you changed Now, things are dreary, baby And it's windy and cold And I stand alone in the rain Calling your name Oh, Stormy Oh, Stormy Bring back that sunny day Bring 'em back Bring 'em back Oh, Stormy Oh, Stormy Bring back that sunny day Bring 'em back Bring 'em back Bring back that sunny day Bring 'em back Bring 'em back Stormy Bring back that sunny day Stormy Oh, Stormy Stormy Oh, Stormy

How many roads Must a man walk down Before they call him a man? How many seas Must a white dove sail Before she can sleep in the sand? And how many times Must the cannonballs fly Before they're ever banned? The answer, my friends Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many years Must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? And how many years Can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? How many times Can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friends Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many times Must a man look up Before he can see the sky? How many ears Must one man have Before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths Will it takes till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friends Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind The answer, my friend Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind

Like a long lonely stream I keep runnin' towardas a dream Movin' on, movin' on Like a branch on a tree I keep reachin' to be free Movin' on, movin' on 'Cause there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun Like an old dusty road I get weary from the load Movin' on, movin' on Like this tired troubled earth I've been rollin' since my birth Movin' on, movin' on There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun You know when times abbey And you feel insane I want you to always remember There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run I know there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run There's a place in the sun Where there's hope for everyone
