Both sides now

Bows and flows of angel hair
And icecream castles in the air
And feather canyons eve´rywhere
I´ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev´ry one
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 cloud illusions I recall;
I really don´t know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev´ry fairy tale comes real
I´ve looked at love that way

But now it´s just another show
You leave ´em laughing when 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 give and take and still somehow
It´s love´s 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
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I´ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads they say I´ve changed
But something´s lost but something´s gained
In living ev´ry day

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
