Lyrics

0:01Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
0:10And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way
0:17But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone
0:24So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way
0:32I've looked at clouds from both sides now
0:39From up and down and still somehow
0:45It's cloud illusions I recall
0:49I really don't know clouds at all
0:57Moons and Junes and ferris wheels the dizzy dancing way you feel
1:08As every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way
1:15But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go
1:23And if you care don't let them know don't give yourself away
1:29I've looked at love from both sides now
1:35From give and take and still somehow
1:38It's love's illusions I recall
1:42I really don't know love at all
1:46Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud
2:10Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way
2:17But now old friends are acting strange they shake their heads they say
2:24I've changed
2:25Something's lost but something's gained in living every day
2:32I've looked at life from both sides now
2:38From win and lose and still somehow
2:45It's life's illusions I recall
2:52I really don't know life at all
Bows 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  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
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
