Both sides now
by Hayley Westenra
lyricscopy.com
Rows 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
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
And 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
Now old friends they´re acting strange
And they shake their heads
And 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
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
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
And 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
Now old friends they´re acting strange
And they shake their heads
And 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
