The Windmills of Your Mind (Les Moulins de Mon Coeur)

Words & Music by Alan & Marilyn Bergman & Michel Legrand
Theme from "The Thomas Crown Affair," 1968
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel,
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space,
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind.
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space,
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind.
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head;
Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that I said?
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over, were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair?
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel,
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind.
