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,

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's 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 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.

 

Oh but now old friends they're 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
