Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair,
And ice-cream castles in the air,
And feathered-canyons ev'rywhere,
I've looked clouds that way..

But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on ev'ryone,
So many things I would 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 clouds illusions I recall,
I really don't know clouds at all..

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
When ever fairytale comes real,
I've looked at love that way..

But now, it's just another show,
You leave 'em laughing where you go,
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away..

I've looked at love from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow,
Its love illusions I recall,
I really don't know love at all..

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say 'I love you' right out loud,
Schemes and dreams and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way,
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, then say I've changed,
Well, something's lost, but something's gained,
In livin' evr'yday..

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow,
It's life's illusions I recall,
I really don't know
Life at all...
