Both Sides Now

Lyrics

Rows and floes of angel hair
 And ice cream castles in the air
 And feather canyons everywhere
 I looked at clouds that way
 
 But now they only block the sun
 They rain and they 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 illusions I recall
 I really don't know clouds at all
 ♪
 Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
 The dizzy dancing way that you feel
 Cos every fairytale comes real
 I've looked at love that way
 
 But now it's just another show
 And you leave em laughing when you go
 And if you can 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 that I recall
 I really don't know love
 ♪
 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
 Oh but now old friends
 They're acting strange
 And they shake their heads
 And they tell me
 That I've changed
 Well something's lost
 But something's gained
 In living every day
 I've looked at life from both sides now
 From win and loose
 And still somehow
 It's life's illusions I recall
 I really don't know life
 ♪
 At all
 ♪
 It's life's illusions
 That I recall
 ♪
 I really don't know life
 I really don't know life
 At all
