both sides now

Belinda Carlisle

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
Well 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 up and down and still somehow
It s life s illusions I recall
I really don t know life
At all
