Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air Feathered canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way Now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I could have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's cloud's illusion I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Farris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel When every fairytale comes real I've looked at love that way Now that's just another show You leave them laughing when you go If you care don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow It's love's illusion I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say I love you right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I look at life that way Now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads they say I've changed But something's lost and something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusion I recall I really don't know life at all
