Moyet, Alison - The Windmills Of Your Mind Lyrics
Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
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 you said
Lovers walking along the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment
You could not recall the color of his eyes
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Didn't really like the remake of this movie
Very nice lines of this song
RIP M. Michel Legrand, a Great French Composer 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Stunningly dreadful version by Alison Moyet no warmth no passion sounds like a woman with too much testosterone in her voice 👎🏻
I'm an Alison Moyet fan, but I must agree. The best female version of this song is Dusty Springfield's imo. But the original version from the film will always be my favourite.
@Bill Sugden I have to disagree. I love this version from Alison Moyet. I feel it far more and really 'get' the movie.
you give no reason for your opinion, could you expand? apart from the testosterone comment which obviously has no relevance.
@Claire Reichel Reasons for a very subjective feeling. OK I'll try my best. Alison has a great blues voice and I like most of her stuff , but every now and then she'll try an old standard or ballad and it doesn't seem to work. Either she's working too hard to make it distinctly her own, or the key is out of her comfort zone. This is not a hate against Alf, she has the perfect voice for some songs, but a singer needs to sell a song to the audience as well as hit the right notes.
Великолепно... Awesome.
Loved in time!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
les yeux de mon frère 💖
alors il a des yeux magnifiques ;)
Excellent song..and amazing combination with these scenes..
It is great and steve you are the best. Blondi
When poetry was Poetry. Then were such times, really. So believe.
Today's young men could learn from this film.
If they were as smooth as Steve McQueen, maybe we wouldn't need a MeToo movement.
Again, I say .....Maybe.
Would it? I would like to see this movie. Never seen it, but this song...I listen to it often. Beautiful.
Alison sings it from the Woman's
perspective.
A wonderful composer,a sensitive lyricist,and a great singer produce this masterpiece of a song.Every time I hear it I just want to cry,,,,
Loved her voice since I was 16... I’m 51 and she doesn’t disappoint. She pairs Steve the man McQueen and Faye Dunaway footage is genius... visually beautiful and audio perfection 🤗❤️👍🍁🍂⏳⌛️🌊🚗
When your happy you enjoy the music. When your sad you understand the lyrics.
Beautiful...
Лучше не бывает!
Why we can't forget those words..this song.. her voice
This song is like cotton candy. It taste so sweet and you can't get enough of it and you eat so much you eventually become sick and can't stand the sight of it. The melody dissolves like gossamer in the wind and lyrics that fool you into thinking you are listening to something much more that self-absorbed utterly meaningless rubbish. The movie scenes of two utterly reprehensible characters only add to your dislike of it after it's over.
No one ever comes close to the great Steve McQueen.
Lovely, but Dusty Springfield owns thia song forever.
Hiba Tawajis "La bidayi wla nihayi" sounds exactly the same as this
غنتها فالعربي بتحويل اللهجه وتضبيطها من قبل زياد الرحباني
Faye dunaway..stunning
Sorry, but no.
She sings as well as Barbra Streisand, Sting, Dusty Springfield - as all artists who interpreted this titel ... someone in his own and personal way --- they all are unforgettable, just like this song of Michel Legrand.
try to compare any of the shit today to this!!!!
Lieber W., dieses Lied wird mich bis ans Ende meiner Tage immer an Dich erinnern...
Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?
Sorry but Jose still owns this song ...no matter how many people try it.All the respect to Moyet as well...but Jose Feliciano just has that special pitch to his sound that fits this song perfectly :)
This is bring to me a memoreis 💔😢
beautiful thank you
did anyone ever take steven the queen ( garden gnome , hand puppet ) seriously as an actress ..no... i thought not , alison is fantastic
I like the arabic version لا بداية ولا نهاية
Из какого кинофильма нарезка?
Неподражаемая женщина - Фей Данауэй и бесподобный Стив Маккуин под оскароносную песню Мишеля Леграна. - Какой беспроигрышный ансамбль.
i remember seeing Alison in Rchels night club and wanted to pluck up the courage to have a chat and maybe a dance but the opportunity passed me by,fabulous voice and enough emotion to melt any heart
Bullitt
There are many versions of this beautiful song and choosing the best cover, I believe, is a matter of personal taste or preference. Personally, there are many versions that I like, this one included and the one by Corinne Drewery of the Swing Out Sisters. Thanks for posting.
the way she sings this song is better than the original song which very very very rare
best version ever - and I seem to know all..
Thank you, from Japan, for providing lyrics. Very helpful indeed. But I'm sorry to say this.
"Tunnel of it's own" should be "its own," and "minutes on it's face" should be "on its face."
Nowadays we know that heavenly bodies are not whirling SILENTLY in space.
They make perceptible noises.
Planets, black holes, pulsars and quasars ... Etc.
They all make noise. In the wind Mills of our measuring instruments.
It's metaphorically ;-) :-).
This song was sung originally by Noel Harrison Rex Harrison son
هل من عرب هنا ؟😂
Late, but we're here haha
"yOu likEd Me with Your eyeS"
I prefer Barbra Streisand and Dusty Springfild version but she sang it pretty well too.
You have my number
*THE WHINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND*
Οι ανεμόμυλοι του μυαλού σου
Στρογγυλό,σαν ένα κύκλο σε σπείρα
Σαν τροχό μέσα σε τροχό.
Χωρίς ποτέ να τελειώνει ή να αρχίζει,
σε ένα τροχό που γυρίζει συνέχεια
Σαν χιονόμπαλα που κυλάει στο βουνό
ή σαν αποκριάτικο μπαλόνι
Σαν καρουζέλ που γυρνάει
Δαχτυλίδια που τρέχουν γύρω από το φεγγάρι
Σαν ένα ρολόι που τα χέρια του καθαρίζουν
Περνάνε τα λεπτά στο πρόσωπό του
Και ο κόσμος είναι σαν ένα μήλο
που στροβιλίζει σιγανά στο διάστημα
Σαν τους κύκλους που βρίσκεις
Στους ανεμόμυλους του μυαλού σου
Σαν ένα τούνελ που ακολουθείς
Σε ένα δικό του τούνελ
Κατεβαίνοντας μια κοιλότητα ενός σπηλαίου
Όπου ο ήλιος δεν έχει φανεί ποτέ
Σαν μια πόρτα που συνεχώς περιστρέφεται
Σε ένα μισοξεχασμένο όνειρο
Ή κυματισμούς σε μια πέτρα
που κάποιος πετάει σε ένα ρέμα
Σαν ένα ρολόι που τα χέρια του καθαρίζουν
Περνάνε τα λεπτά στο πρόσωπό του
Και ο κόσμος είναι σαν ένα μήλο
που στροβιλίζει σιγανά στο διάστημα
Σαν τους κύκλους που βρίσκεις
Στους ανεμόμυλους του μυαλού σου
Κλειδιά που κουδουνίζουν στην τσέπη σου
Λέξεις που στριφογυρνάνε στο μυαλό σου
Γιατί το καλοκαίρι έφυγε τόσο γρήγορα
Ήταν κάτι που είπες
Εραστές που περπατάνε κατά μήκος στην ακτή
αφήνουν πατημασιές στην άμμο
Είναι ο ήχος ενός απόμακρου τυμπάνου
Απλά τα δάχτυλα στο χέρι σου
Φωτογραφίες που κρέμονται στο σαλόνι
Και ένα απόσπασμα από τραγούδι
Μισοθυμημένα ονόματα και πρόσωπα
Αλλά σε ποιον ανήκουν
Όταν ήξερες ότι τελείωσε
Στο φθινόπωρο των αντίων
Για μια στιγμή
Δεν μπορούσες να θυμηθείς το χρώμα των ματιιών του
Στρογγυλό,σαν ένα κύκλο σε σπείρα
Σαν τροχό μέσα σε τροχό.
Χωρίς ποτέ να τελειώνει ή να αρχίζει,
σε ένα τροχό που γυρίζει συνέχεια
Όπως οι εικόνες γυρίζουν
Σαν τον κύκλο που βρίσκεις
Στους ανεμόμυλους του μυαλού σου
Great rendition Alf. I still love you.
The ultimate song ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Love is real,
like our story, our affair. I know it's wrong, but we can't avoid it.
I love you 'hg’ 💕
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind !
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone,
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream,
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping ....
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly ?
Was it something that you said ?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand ?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong ?
He: when you knew
That it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color
Of her hair !
She: when you knew
That it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment
You could not recall the color
Of his eyes !
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
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 !
verse 5 and 6 ,the ones beginning with he and she,where do they come from because they're not the same as the lyrics in the video??
its not it's
Gosh, this is absolutely stunning. I waited 50 years to hear this, and it was worth it.
A bit of a change from the lyrics I found... l love both versions, though!
Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
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 colour of her hair!
Wow, what a lyrics. Wow, what a interpretation!
MUHTEŞEM BİR ŞARKI
This awesome lady had more grace and elegance in her little finger than all of today's "stars" put together....
Has....not had. She isn't dead yet.
Don't EVEN get me started on the remake.
Amazing song!!
Hated the film.
THE WINDMILLS OF MY MIND XX

A great version of one of the all time classic songs but together with the video it is breathtaking. Thank you so much for making this for everyone to enjoy.

So Beautiful
Wonderdul voice
Manny Blessings❤❤
Best version. No doubt.
Has there ever been a more soulful song sung?????
A very beautiful song ,synchronized with some highlights from the movie THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. ADORABLE
Лучшее что есть, BEST
Love Never dies always live in memories
Not true.... green eyes.
🌟when everything was...

The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
What's the name of the movie? Pleeeaaaseeeee
The Thomas Crown Affair.
Do you know where can I find this movie? I can't find it in any site! Thanks 😄
I wish I could help you out but I am unable to find it myself.Apologies to you.
Birdyfi lovingheart its okay 😃 I will comment here if I find it sometime in the future haha
Thank you so much :)
The best version ever
My english teacher used to play this song on an old tape player. He used all of his soul and emotion while singing and dancing it in class.He even used to draw circles on the blackboard to make us understand the deep meaning of the lyrics.I heard this song randomly on radio yesterday and this memory (which i didn't even know I had) came to my mind so spontaneously "like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind". I even remembed his sad face as if he felt some kind of nostalgy while listening to this song. I can't explain why I commented this story. Sad memory but I'm glad I recalled it...
very sensitive and emotional. thanks
good memories good humans
Beautiful memories. Thanks for sharing.
Your story moved my feelings while listening to this song 💔
I agree
Out of all the versions I've heard of this song Alison Moyet does the most moving rendition. She sings it nice and slow with the emotion of an artist who understands the emotional depth of the song. With the orchestra backing her she uses it as a back drop unveiling a rich tone of a chapter that reflects the movie it came from.
Most beautiful.
So sad... 😢😢
N' so miss you 💔💔
I really miss you !
great version by a great singer
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d prefer Dusty’s version
love that song
the tempo needs to be a little less smooth
I like this version. Alison is the best vocalist we've ever had. However, the song is better with the mark to desperation - it's about grasping at memory. Charles Aznavour did the best interpretation
