Both Sides Now

Bows and flows of angel hair

Ice cream castles in the air

And feathered canyons everywhere

I'd look at clouds that way

Now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I could have done

The clouds got in my way

I'd look at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's cloud delusions, I recall

I really don't know cloud

At all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels

Dizzy dancing way you feel

Is every fairytale complete

I'd look at love that way

Now it's just another show

We've been laughing when you go

And if you care, don't let them know

Don't give yourself away

I'd look at love from both sides now

From give and take and still somehow

It's love's delusions, I recall

I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud

Say I love you right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I'd look at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say I'd change

But something's lost and something's gained

In living every day

I'd look at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's delusions, I recall

I really don't know life at all
