Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I have 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 have 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 have looked at love that way 

But now it’s just another show
You leave me laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away 

I have 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 have looked at life that way 

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I have changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day 

I have 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 have 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
