Rows and flows of angel hair And cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way
But now they block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done Clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds 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 that you feel As every fairy comes real I've looked at love that way
But now just another show And 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 don't know love Really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud To say \"I love you\" right out loud Dreams schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends they're acting strange And they their heads And 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 still somehow life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life I really don't know life at all
