Both Sides Now

rows and floes 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 evryone

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 them 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 loves 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

somethings lost 

somethings gainedin living every day



i've looked at life from both sides now

from win and lose and still somehow

it's lifes illusions i recall

i really don't know life

i really don't know life 

i really don't know life 

at all
