ROWS 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 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 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 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 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
|
|
Oh but now old friends are acting strange
|
They shake their heads, they tell me that I've changed
|
Well 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
|
|
I've looked at life from both sides now
|
From up and down and still somehow
|
It's life's illusions I recall
|
I really don't know life at all
|

BOTH SIDES, NOW
