The Windmills of Your Mind is a song written by M. Legrand, A. and M. Bergman in 1968. The song describes the circular and never-ending nature of life, using metaphors such as a wheel within a wheel, a snowball down a mountain, and a carousel turning. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of memories and the passing of time. The song has become a classic and has been covered by many artists over the years.
