[Verse 1] Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Chorus] 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
