Both Sides Now

Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way Oh, but now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things that I would have done But clouds got in the 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 Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel Oh, as every fairytale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave them 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, they're acting strange They shake their heads and they say 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 lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life I really don't know life I really don't know life at all
