And if you care don't let them know
It's love's illusions I recall
From up and down and still somehow
But something's lost and something's gained
I've looked at love from both sides now
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
I really don't know love at all
And now they only block the sun
From win and lose and still somehow
I've looked at love that way
'Cause every fairy tale comes real
Tears and fears and feeling proud
Don't give yourself away
From give and take and still somehow
And feathered canyons everywhere
It's clouds illusion I recall
Leave them laughing when you go
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
It's life's illusions I recall
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
But clouds got in my way
Dizzy dancing way you feel
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
I really don't know clouds at all
But now old friends are acting strange
They rain and snow on everyone
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Now that's just another show
To say I love you right out loud
I look at life that way
I've looked at clouds that way
So many things I could have done
