To say to someone I love you right out loud
Now old friends are acting strange
From up and down and still somehow it's cloud illusions that I recall
I've looked at love from both sides now
The dizzy dancing way you feel as every fairy tale comes real
From up and down and give and take
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way
I've looked at love that way once upon a time
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
I really don't know what love's about at all
I've looked at life that way, sometimes I still do
From win and lose and still somehow it's love's illusions that I recall
Tears and fears and feelin' proud
I've looked at love from both sides now
Something's lost but something's gained in livin' every day
I really don't know clouds at all
They shake their heads and they tell me that I have changed, yes I have
And if you care don't let them know, know, don't give yourself away
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
I've looked at clouds that way
