Bows 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 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's illusions I recall 

I really don't know clouds at all 



Moons and Junes and ferris wheels the dizzy dancing way you feel 

When every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way 

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin 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 win and lose 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 

But 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
