What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

CIRCLE

All my life's a circle, 
Sunrise and sundown
The moon rolls through the nighttime,
 Till the daybreak comes around
All my life's a circle
 But I can't tell you why
The season's spinnin' round again
 The years keep rolling by

It seems like I've been here before,
 I can't remember when
But I got this funny feelin' 
That I'll be back once again
There's no straight lines make up my life
 And all my roads have bends
There's no clear-cut beginnings
 And so far no dead-ends

I found you a thousand times
 I guess you've done the same
But then we lose each other
 It's just like a children's game
But as I see you here again,
 A 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
All my life's a circle
But I can't tell you why
The season's spinnin' round again,
 The years keep rolling by
