Circle This song has been described as the Chapin family theme song that's sung at weddings, funerals, and bar mitzvahs. It was the song Harry often ended his concerts with. This song was originally written for brother Tom Chapin for use on his children's TV show Make a Wish. This song is also known as All My Life's a Circle. Circle was written one night in a greasy spoon in Brooklyn Heights. It was due the next day for Make a Wish.
