Reflections
Chambers Brothers · Other Songs - Chambers Brothers
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
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 wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
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 promises
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...
Reflections - Chambers Brothers
Chambers Brothers' "Reflections" stands as a quintessential example of their signature soul sound, blending gospel-inflected harmonies with a driving, blues-based rhythm. Recorded during the height of their influence in the mid-1960s, the track exemplifies the group's ability to fuse Southern gospel traditions with R&B and rock elements. The song features the band's characteristic call-and-response structure and powerful vocal delivery, capturing the raw energy that defined their live performances and studio recordings of the era. As a staple of their discography, "Reflections" remains a powerful testament to the Chambers Brothers' mastery of soul music and their enduring legacy in the genre.
