Both Sides Now

Bows 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

Oneveryone

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 illusions

I recall

I really don't know

Clouds at all

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

But now

It's just

Another show

You leave 'em

Laughing when yougo

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 outloud

Dreams and schemes

And circus crowds

I've looked

At life thatway

But now old friends

Are acting strange

They shake their heads

They say

I've changed

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
