Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feathered 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've 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 illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairytale 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 that I recall
I really don't know love
I really don't know love at all
And now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, and they say that I've changed
Something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose but still somehow
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life at all
