Written by Michel Legrand
Original capo 2 later versions by Noel Harrison no capo.
(Intro)
Dm/F Abdim(Ab,D,Ab,B,F,Ab Bar4) A7(5 bar)
Round, like a Dm/Fcircle in a spiral,
Gm6/Bb (x.Bb,E,G,D,E)
like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or begiA7nning
on an ever spinning Dm/Freel
Like a snowball down a D7mountain
Gm(bar 3)
or a carnival balloon
C7(bar3)
Like a carousel that's turning,
Fmaj7(Am/F)
running rings around the moon
Bbmaj7(bar1)
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Gm6/Bb (x.Bb,E,G,D,E)
past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an A7apple
Abdim (bar4)
whirling silently in space
A7 (bar5)
Like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your Dm/Fmind
Like a tunnel that you follow
Gm6/Bb (x.Bb,E,G,D,E)
to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cA7avern
where the sun has never Dm/Fshone
D7(/F#)
Like a door that keeps revolving
in a half-forgotten Gmdream
Or the ripples from a C7pebble
someone tosses in a Fmaj7stream
Like a clock whose hands are Bbmaj7sweeping
past the minutes of its Gm6/Bbface
And the world is like an A7apple
whirling silently in Abdimspace
Like the circles that you A7find
in the windmills of your Dm/Fmind
Dm/FKeys that jingle in your pocket,
words that jD7angle in your heGmad
Why did summer go so C7quickly'
Was it something that you Fmaj7said'
Lovers walk along the F7shore
and leave their footprints in the Bbmaj7sand
Is the sound of distant E7drumming
just the fingers of your Amhand'
Pictures hanging in a D7hallway
and the fragment of a Gmsong
Half-remembered names and C7faces,
but to whom do they beFmaj7long'
When you knew that it was Bbmaj7over,
you were suddenly aGm6ware
That the autumn leaves were A7turning
to the colour of her Dm/Fhair
Dm/FA circle in a spiral,
a wheel within a Gm6/Bbwheel
Never ending or beA7ginning
on an ever spinning Abdimreel
As the images unDm/Fwind,
like the circles that you A7find
in the windmills of your Dm/Fmind
