Circle

Circle
by Harry Chapin
© 1971 The Harry Chapin Foundation (ASCAP)

All my life’s a circle, sunrise and sundown
The moon rolls through the nighttime
Till the daybreak comes around
And all my life’s a circle, but I can’t tell you why
Seasons spinning ‘round again
The years keep rolling by.

Well, it seems like I’ve been here before
And I can’t remember when
But I’ve got this funny feeling
That we’ll all get together again.
Now no straight lines make up my life
All these roads have bends.
There’s no clear cut beginnings
And so far no dead ends.
All my life’s a circle, sunrise and sundown
The moon rolls through the nighttime
Till the daybreak comes around
And all my life’s a circle, but I can’t tell you why
Seasons spinning ‘round again
The years keep rolling by.

I found you a thousand times
I guess you done the same
Then we lose each other
It’s just like a children’s game
But as I found you here again
The thought runs through my mind
Our love is like a circle
Let’s go ‘round one more time.
All my life’s a circle, sunrise and sundown
The moon rolls through the nighttime
Till the daybreak comes around
And all my life’s a circle, but I can’t tell you why
Seasons spinning ‘round again
The years keep rolling by.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Join The Jubilee CD.
