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