both sides now

Willie Nelson

Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere, I?ve looked at
cloud 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.

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.
