Bows and flows of angel hair
  And ice cream castles in the air
  And 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 you feel
  As every fairy tale comes real
  I've looked at love that way
  
  But now it's just another show
  You leave them 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
  But something's lost and 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
