Bows and flows of ange l hair
And ic e cream ca stles in the air
And feather ca nyons ev erywhere
I've looked at cl ouds that way
But n ow they o nly bloc k the sun
They rai n and s now on ever yone
So many th ings I c ould have done
But clouds got i n my way
I've l ooked at c louds from both sides now
From up and down, and still so mehow
It's cl ouds'illu sions I recall
I r eall y do n't know clouds a t al l
Moons and Junes 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 them laughing as 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
Something's lost and 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
