Bows and flows of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

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 that 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

But now old friends

Are acting strange

They shake their heads

They say

I've changed

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 win and lose

And still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all
