Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feathered 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 you feel
When every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin 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 win and lose 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

But 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
