Both Sides Now

 

Bows and flows of angel hair

 

And ice cream castles in the air

 

And feather canyons everywhere,

 

I"ve looked at clouds that way

 

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

 

I"ve looked at clouds from both sides now

 

From up and down and still somehow

 

It"s cloud"s illusions I recall I really don"t know clouds at all

 

Moons and Jewels and ferris wheels

 

The dizzy dancing way you feel

 

As every fairy tale comes real,

 

I"ve looked at love that way But now it"s just another show,

 

You leave "em laughin 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 every 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.
