Both Sides Now
Bows and flows of angel hairAnd ice cream castles in the airFeather cannons everywhereI’ve looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sunThey rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I would have doneBut clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down and still somehowIt’s clouds illusions I recallI really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheelsThe dizzy, dancing way you feelWhen every fairy tale comes trueI’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another showYou leave ‘em 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 loves 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
But now old friends are acting strangeThey shake their headsThey say I’ve changedWell somethings lost and somethings gained in living every day
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
I’ve looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and loose and still somehowIt’s lifes illusions I recallI really don’t know life
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down and still somehowIt’s clouds illusions I recallI really don’t know clouds at all
I really don’t know life at all
