Reflections (1968) - (as Diana Ross & The Supremes)




















Reflections lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

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

Hapiness 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 waisted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've taisted
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 promisses
Are all that's left of 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
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...

I'm Gonna Make It (I Will Wait For You) lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

When you went away
There's nothing I could say
But now I feel the hurt's coming over me
Wishing you were here, thinking ?out you, dear
Every night and day the way it used to be
Although it's been so long since you were by my side
I'll keep holding on and won? let this love die.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Every girl has a dream of happiness
But all I dream of you's your sweet caress
I just can't tell you how I miss you so
But all my love I won't let go, oh.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Everywhere I go the tears begin to flow
Cause I pass by every place we used to meet
And when I'm home alone
My friends call me on the phone
They all say that you will not return to me
I know you're gone without me
Although I don't know where
I know you're thinking bout me, I feel it in the air.

I'm trying not to let another take your place
Even though the loneliness is on my face
You can't let someone take what they don't own
Baby, I'm yours, so please come home.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Forever Came Today lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Suddenly, my world stood still.
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand
I knew that we had layed a plan
For everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of

Darling
Ooh, my darling
Make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has led me
Into this place, to your warm embrace
And our happiness

Thanks to you, my search has ended
And I want the world to se
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of

I Can't Make It Alone lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

The best years of my life I placed into your hands
Now suddenly you've made, you've made a change of plans
That world we built for two does not include me now
That world of pleasant dream is but a nightmare now.

On life's bridge we ran so gaily hand in hand
But it's all over now, that bridge is all burned down
Your love was all I could depend upon
Who can I turn to now, now that you?e gone.

I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, always.

The joyful things that we used to do
That kept me right on, right on loving you
Oh, playing funny, childish games
Like running barefoot in the rain.

It was a special dream, a dream that I could feel
But now you?e gone, life's so unreal
Your love is truly the only love I've known
What am I to do now that you're gone.

I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, every day.

Days have come and gone but they never find you here
Nights are twice as long, oh, without you, dear
After many, many faithful years
How could you cause me so many tears?

I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
Just can't make it alone.

In And Out Of Love lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
I long to find a love I'm sure about
That certain kind of love that moves all doubts

Keep falling in and out of love
Still searchin' for that special one
To whom I can give my love completely
And feel a lasting love so sweetly

Just when I feel sure love's here to stay
It seems to suddenly just fade away
Can't seem to find that everlasting love
That this heart of mine needs so much of

Keep falling in and out of love
Can't seem to find the lasting kind
It seems I can't find the joy I need
Love always somehow all goes wrong for me

Keep falling in and out of love
Keep falling in and out of love
I keep reaching out for tenderness
Touching a hand that holds emptiness

I'm looking for a love that lingers on
Long after that first kiss is gone
That kind of love that keeps burning bright
Long after we've said goodnight

Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
Keep falling in and out of love...

Bah-Bah-Bah lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

You don't hold me in your arms the way you did
When you were so much in love with me
I recall the time when you were all mine
And I didn't have to share your love with anyone.

And when I feel I wanna be with you
And I can't right then, it almost drives me insane
'cause you're the only one who can easy my mind
'cause you're the reason of all of my hurt and all of my pain.

When I guess my world was made believe
'cause I thought I can have your love all to myself
And there's nothing I can do 'cause you're gonna do
What you wanna do anyhow, anyway.

But loving you is blinding me so
I still hold on to every hope and every dream
While deep inside I feel the tide is about to turn
And you won't find me hanging around you anymore.

But keep this in mind for the end of time
You're gonna want me more than I want you now
Ooo, it's gonna be a shame, hate to see you that way
I know how it feels 'cause I'm on that cloud today.

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

What The World Needs Now Is Love lyrics - Diana Ross

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross, enough to last
'Till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now...

Up, Up And Away lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Would you like to ride
In my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide
In my beautiful balloon?
We could flow among the stars
Together you and I
For we can fly
For we can fly

Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon

The world's a nicer place
In my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face
In my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song
And sail along the silversky
For we can fly
For we can fly

Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the sky for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
Keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there
In my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air
In ly beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand
We'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly
For we can fly

Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon

Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away

Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things) lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Love, love, love makes me do foolish things
Sitting on by the phone, a phone that never rings
Hoping to hear you say you love me still
Knowing you never will.

Love, love, love has made a fool of me
Got me doing things, things that shouldn't be
Listening for the sound of your knock on my door
Knowing that sweet sound would be no more.

Funny how precious memories linger on
So long after you?e gone
Oooh, precious memories that all makes me cry
But I keep holding on, oh why should I?

All because love, love, love has made a fool of me
Speak your name softly each night
While holding your picture tight
When you took my heart, you took my soul
And it's far beyond control.

Funny how precious memories linger on
So long, long after you're gone
Oh, precious memories that all makes me cry
But I keep holding on, oh why should I?

All because love, love, love makes me do these things
Love, love, love, love has made a fool of me
Love, love, love makes me do foolish things.

Then lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

If Columbus never sailed the sea
If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme
If leaves have never grown upon a tree
And if the sands have never told the time
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel couldn't possibly be real

If Beethoven never wrote a song
And if Shakespeare never wrote a play
If a man has never done a wrong
And if night has never followed day
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love for you couldn't possibly be true

If high is low
And up is down
And if love is not considered an emotion
If yes is no
And square is round
And if waves had never rode across the ocean

If Michaelangelo could never paint
And if Jezebel was a saint
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love is wrong couldn't possibly be strong

Then I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel...

Misery Makes Its Home In My Heart lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

The door to my heart was open
Open wide much wider than wide
(I said the door was open)
And I had been praying and hoping
That your love would come walking inside

I should have locked my heart
I should have thrown away the key
Instead I let you walk on through
I thought your love was true
But it was misery

Ooh, heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

(I said the door was open, it was wide open)
My heart had room inside
And to fill it with love I was willing
I wanted it to be occupied
By a love that was strong and fulfilling

I should have shut you out
Detained you with a strong defence
Instead my heart gave shelter to
A love I felt was true
In every sense
Don't you know that

Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

(My heart had room inside now, it had room inside)
Now I've cried a river
No it's more like a sea
Tears flow by the thousand
Since my heart is housing this misery
Misery

Let me tell you about
Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

Heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

Ode To Billie Joe lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
And then she said she got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it just don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Ain't No Mountain High Enough (The ANMHE 'Diamond Diana" Remix) lyrics - Diana Ross

If you need me
Call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend
And never worry

No wind (no wind)
No rain (no rain)
Or winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe)
Baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind (no wind)
No rain (no rain)
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go

I know
I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you
One guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my loving
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close
Or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you, babe
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you, babe

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me, keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me, keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough (no, no)
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough (yeah, yeah)
To keep me from you
...

Nothing in this world...
Can keep me from you, babe...
Just call my name...
I'll be there in a minute...
Just call my name...
I'll be there...

For Once In My Life lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once I can feel that somebody's there by me
For once in my life
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
(Someone who needs me
Someone who needs me
Someone who needs me
For once in my life, ooh-hoo
For once in my life (He needs me)
Someone who needs me (He needs me)
For once in my life (He needs me)
I got someone who needs me (He needs me)
Mhm, mhm (He needs me)
He needs me
He needs me

Love Story lyrics - Diana Ross (feat. Bill Cosby)

(from "Diana!" soundtrack)

I like your brother
I like your mother
And I like you !
I like you too

We'll get a preacher
A preacher already ?
I'll buy the ring
And we can hire a band
With a violin and an accordeon
And a tenor who can sing

You and me, you and me, baby
You and me...

We'll have a kid
Oh... we may have to rent one
He's got to be straight
'Cause we don't want a bent one
We sure want no bent one

He will drink his baby booze
From a big breast cup
Someday he'll may be president
If things loosen up

You and me, you and me, baby
You and me...

When our kids are grown
With kids of their own
They'll send us away
To a little home in Florida
Where we can play checkers
Playin' checkers can be fun

You and me, you and me, baby
You and me...

Turn Up The Sunshine lyrics - Diana Ross & Tame Impala

(from "Minions: The Rise Of Gru" soundtrack)

(Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine
Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine
Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine
Turn up the sunshine, turn up, turn up the sunshine)

We can make it further, we running and don't look back
It's a light at the end of the tunnel if you stay on track
But I know any minute when your fingers turn it up like snap
So hard to lose like that (Hey)

Let's do it all around the world
We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn up the sunshine
Think about it
All the boys and girls
You gotta turn up the sunshine, you gotta turn up the sunshine
Said it's been a long night, a long night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Let's do it all around the world
We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn it up
Make it hard to lose like that

You want it, you got it, I'm with it if you do it like that
It's brighter now when the colors of the rainbow flash
We gotta keep it moving, make a change so it don't change back
So hard to lose like that

Let's do it all around the world
We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn up the sunshine
Think about it
All the boys and girls
You gotta turn up the sunshine, you gotta turn up the sunshine
Said it's been a long night, a long night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Let's do it all around the world
We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn it up
Make it hard to lose like that

If this weather makes you frown
And some people get you down, remember
Love like sound, it's better when it's loud
And if there's no song inside
We can bring the light together
Day or night, we're shining from inside

Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the sunshine

Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the, turn it up
Turn up the sunshine

All around the world
We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn up the sunshine
Think about it
All the boys and girls
You gotta turn up the sunshine, you gotta turn up the sunshine
Said it's been a long night, a long night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Let's do it all around the world
We gotta turn up the sunshine, we gotta turn it up
Make it hard to lose like that

We Can Never Light That Old Flame Again lyrics - Diana Ross

Never light that old flame again
No, not ever, no never
We just can't fight it
We just can't light it

When our friendship turned to love
That's when the world turned on
But when our love turned to friendship
I knew the feelin' was gone
Why keep clingin' to bits and pieces
When all the time loneliness increases
We both have to know when to let go

But we talk and talk and lay awake
The more we talk, the less we say
There's no way, just ain't no way

We can ever light that old flame again
Never feel the same again
With warmed over love and leftover dreams

When our love was a ragin' fire
We'd make love all night
But now when we're makin' love
We make love just to be polite
We can't go back to where we've been
Can never cross that bridge again
But let's be glad for what we had

'Cause we took and took until it's all used up
We can't drink from an empty cup
It's all used up, it's all used up

We can ever light that old flame again
Never feel the same again
With warmed over love and leftover dreams

'Cause we took and took until it's all used up
We can't drink from an empty cup
It's all used up, it's all used up

We can ever light that old flame again
Never feel the same again
With warmed over love and leftover dreams

Life's too short to keep holdin' on
We both know that the feeling's gone
We keep clingin' to bits and pieces
When all the time loneliness increases

Ain't no way
Ain't no way, baby
Oh, there just ain't no way
No, there just ain't no way
That we could ever light that old flame again
Never feel ever the same again
With warmed over love and leftover dreams

If We Hold On Together lyrics - Diana Ross

[from "The Land Before Time" soundtrack]

Don't lose your way
with each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by, for you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end

Valley...Mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts...everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
