both sides now

rows and floes of angel hair

and ice cream castles in the air

and feather canyons ev'rywhere

i've looked at clouds that way

but now they only block the sun

they rain and snow on ev'ryone

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 ev'ry 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
