Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons ev'rywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now, they only block the sun They rain and snow on ev'ryone 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 recallI really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancin' way you feel As ev'ry 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 recallI 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 actin' strange They shake their heads, they say, I've changed Well, something's lost, but something's gained In livin' ev'ry day I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's life's illusions, I recallI really don't know life at all I've looked at life from both sides now
