decades later as the theme from the American TV series China Beach .
Vol. III_; on a good system you can hear those weird beeps bouncing all
around your room. (You can also hear a couple of extremely crude splices
before each repeat of the chorus at the end.)
This is in Bb, but I think the 45 was sped up to B. Anyone have an original
pressing to compare?
Intro:

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Chorus 1:
The way life used to be
The love you took from me
Post-chorus 1:
I m all alone now, no love to shield me
Trapped in a world that s
A distorted reality
Verse 2:
Bb [as per verse 1]
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I m cryin
Reflects the hurt I can t control
Chorus 2:
Cause although you re gone
I keep holding on
To the happy time, ooh
When you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Lookin over my yesterday
And all the love I gave all to you
Bridge:
/ / (All the love) All the love that I ve wasted
(All the tears) All the tears that I ve tasted
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
Ooh, yeah
Verse 3:
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
Chorus 3:
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
Post-chorus 3:
After all the nights I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that s left of loving you
[repeat chorus 1]
[repeat chorus 3; fade]
