Both Sides Now
Rows and flows of angel hairAnd ice cream castles in the airAnd feather canyons everywhereI've looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sunThey rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I would've doneBut clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down, and still somehowIt's cloud illusions I recallI really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheelsThe dizzy dancing way you feelAs every fairy tale comes realI've looked at love that way
But now it's just another showYou leave them laughing when you goAnd if you care, don't let them knowDon't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides nowFrom give and take, and still somehowIt's love's illusions I recallI really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proudTo say "I love you" right out loudDreams and schemes and circus crowdsI've looked at life that way
Now old friends are acting strangeThey shake their heads, they say I've changedWell, something's lost, but something's gainedIn living every day
I've looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and lose, and still somehowIt's life's illusions I recallI really don't know lifeAt all
