Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
Feather 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 would have done, but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds, from both sides now
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' 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
Now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let 'em know, don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's loves illusions, I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud, say, "I love you", right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way
Now old friends are acting strange, they shake their hands, they say I've changed
Well something's lost and something's gained, living every day

I've looked at life, from both sides now
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

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions, I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

I really don't know life at all
