The Marmalade — Reflections Of My Life (lyrics)

Verse 1
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes
Verse 2 (Repeat)
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes

Chorus
Oh my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home

Chorus (Repeat)
Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
To my own home

Verse 3 (Repeat Verse 1)
I'm changing, arranging,
I'm changing,
I'm changing everything
Everything around me

Verse 4 (Repeat Verse 1)
The world is
A bad place
A bad place
A terrible place to live
Oh but I don't wanna die ...

Chorus (2 x)

This song was popular when my father moved us from the suburbs to the country. I was 14, sad and upset having lost all of my friends. Now I am 65 and told that I am terminal and can go any day. This song stirs so many memories and tears.

This song was released just after I began my 13 month tour in 1969. It has a very special meaning for me....and the fact I managed to make it home in one piece, for which I'm grateful beyond words.

Reflections of my life is just that, memories. 50 years later this song is still as beautiful to me as the 1st time I listened. What talent!!!

[jeanphillips]

I loved this song back in 1969. I have just turned 79 and I still love it. Makes me cry!

[roypeaslee]

I am now in the winter of my years and have cast out many memories that no longer seem real to me. Yet, when I hear this tempered piece of music, it stills me, and for a brief moment I drift back to the summer of my life and feel the warmth of those years.

My sister passed away one day before her 60th birthday. She would help me sleep at night when I was a child by playing music for me. This was her favorite. Love you Cindy 😍

Songs like this from the 70's speak to the soul like no others from any decade!!!

As you get older, people and things fade from life.
You really want to relive those days just one more time.

"The world is a bad place, a bad place to live, but I don't want to die" .... prophetic line in today's situation.

Every day I give thanks for belonging to the wonderful and beautiful 1960s. I was born in September 1961 and will be 62 years old. 🎉👍🏻😃🌹✨🌟

[bryaname]

I thank my dad for his amazing taste in music. It is because of him that I appreciate this music.

[gordonclark]

I’m 67 years old. This song brings back memories of the Vietnam war and social unrest in America when I was younger, but it shines a spotlight on the world today.

[robman]

I normally don't become emotional but I'm am listing to this on loop and tears are falling on the floor! Life is such a mystery.

[johnmcleod]

i'm 63 yrs. old now...the first time i heard this song it stopped me in my tracks...the lyrics, the melody, the harmonies, the orchestra...it hits you straight in the chest...and it's almost impossible for me to listen to this song without welling up - everytime...and i never cry...that's the power of music.

[michelleprie]

When I was 20, I just loved this song. Now that I'm over 40, I can FEEL this song!!! 🎶💖🎶

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams

[lindataylor]

I just turned 68 and listened to this with the lyrics. I remember it from my youth but never ever paid attention to the lyrics. Made me sad listening to it now. Brought me back to my youth but mostly what it is saying is so true.

[reb]

Released 7 days after my 20th. birthday. Now, every time I hear it, I think of all that has changed since then. Rest assured, as you reach a certain age, you will see exactly how relevant this song truly is. Absolutely no music can hold a candle to the music of the late 60's and early 70's. Such great songs by so many great artist...many of which are no longer with us. I would say that their music will never die, but much of it has been forgotten except by those that were around when it first came out.

Lost my little sister in 3years ago. She was just 24, I miss her so much I can't even put into words the pain I feel.❤
