| 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 '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 | |
| 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 |
