the telephone rings in Hollwood Florida
a woman answers, asks who it is
the voice at the end of the line
says you don't know me but maybe I'm
someone from along time ago
the caller asks did you have a baby
that you gave away in '62
if so I've been looking for you
please tell the truth
I'm part broken and I don't know where I'm from
Chorus:
funny how circles run through your life
some are broken,they need to mend
when the circle that is you, is broken you will do
what it takes to find the other end
the woman said yes and then was silent
she drew a sigh and then she said
there are times in my life
I'd rather not remember
like a baby cryin' down the hall
I don't know if I'm glad you found me
My life has been hard and tattered
a day don't go by I don't wonder
whether you done better
Chorus:
funny the circles gone though my life
some unbroken, some they never end
alone with two kids and one on the way
I did what I thought was best
The caller says I'm doin' fine
I'm livin' up north in the country
got a man who treats me good and a baby
who shines like the sun
Chorus:
Funny how circles run through life
sometimes broken, it takes some time to mend
if I'd passed you on the street
would I know you or would a flee-
ting chance pass on by
funny how circles run through your life
some are broken,they need to mend
when the circle that is you, is broken you will do
what it takes to find the other end
