Both Sides Now

[Verse 1]

Rows and flows of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feathered canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

[Verse 2]

But now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would have done

But clouds got in my way

[Chorus 1]

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's clouds' illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

[Verse 3]

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels

The dizzy, dancing way you feel

When every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way

[Verse 4]

Now, all my friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say I've changed

And something's lost and something's gained

In living in every day

[Chorus 2]

I've looked at love from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

[Verse 5]

Tears and fears and feeling proud

To say, "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

[Chorus 3]

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all
