Both Sides Now
 
Bows and flows of angel hair,

and ice cream castles in the air
Feathered canyons everywhere,

I've looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun,

they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could 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 illusion I recall,

I really don't know clouds at all
 
Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels.

The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairytale comes real.

I've looked at love that way
Now that's just another show

you leave them laughing when you go
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 illusion 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 look at life that way
Now old friends are acting strange.

They shake their heads

they say I've changed
But something's lost and 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 illusion I recall.

I really don't know life at all
