Bows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air Feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way Now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I might 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 clouds, illusions I recall I really don't know clouds 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 I don't know life at all 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 I've looked at clouds I've looked at life I've looked at love Illusions I recall Illusions I recall From both sides now From both sides now
