Rows and floes
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
they rain and 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 you feel
As every fairy tale
comes real
I've looked at love
that way
But now it's just
another show
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
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
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
at all
I've looked at life
from both sides now
from up and down
and still somehow it's
life's illusions
I recall
I really don't know life
at all
