Album:

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


But now they only block the sun
And they rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way


I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all


Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way


Oh, but now it's just another show
And you leave 'em 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 that I recall
I really don't know love, 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


Oh, but now old friends, they're acting strange
And they shake their heads, and they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day


Oh, I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and give and take and win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life at all


It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life, I really don't know life at all
