"Reflections Of My Life" (Live) by Marmalade with Dean Ford (1969)

RIP Dean Ford (September 5, 1946 – December 31, 2018, aged 72) "Reflections Of My Life" was written by Junior Campbell and Dean Ford, and recorded by Scottis...

Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing the music video of Thomas McAleese better known as Dean Ford performing "Reflections Of My Life" at the end of his life.
I well remember this hopeful 1969 song played by marmalade and I still enjoy eating marmalade with toast. :-)
"Reflections Of My Life" (Live) by Marmalade with Dean Ford (1969)
""Reflections Of My Life" was written by Junior Campbell and Dean Ford, and recorded by Scottish pop-rock band Marmalade. The lead singer Dean Ford later sang for Alan Parsons Project and thereafter for The Sydney Urshan Band (my band). He showed me some magazines and articles about him and Marmalade, some with the Beatles attending Marmalade performances, magazine covers of rock stars and their wives (Beatles, Dean, and others), etc. One interview with Jimi Hendrix asked what his biggest musical influences were and Jimi answered, Marmalade's song "I See The Rain" was the "best cut of 1967."

"Reflections Of My Life" written by 'Junior' William Campbell,Thomas McAleese
Lyrics
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes

All my sorrow
Sad tomorrow
Take me back to my old home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my old home

I'm changing, arranging
I'm changing, I'm changing everything
Ah, everything around me
The world is a bad place
A bad place, a terrible place to live
Oh, but I don't wanna die

All my sorrow
Sad tomorrow
Take me back to my old home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my old home
All my sorrow (all my sorrow)
Sad tomorrow
Take me back (take me back) to my old home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying..."
