Both Sides Now

I've looked at love that way once upon a time
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go
From win and lose and still somehow it's love's illusions that I recall

But now they only block the sun, they rain and they snow on everyone
From give and take and still somehow it's love's illusions that I recall

From up and down and give and take
They shake their heads and they tell me that I have changed, yes I have

From up and down and still somehow it's cloud illusions that I recall

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
I've looked at love from both sides now

I've looked at life that way, sometimes I still do
I've looked at love from both sides now
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel as every fairy tale comes real
To say to someone I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way
And if you care don't let them know, know, don't give yourself away
Tears and fears and feelin' proud
I really don't know what love's about at all
Now old friends are acting strange
I really don't know clouds at all
Something's lost but something's gained in livin' every day
I've looked at clouds that way
