But clouds got in my way
I've looked at love that way
Tears and fears and feeling proud
From up and down and still somehow
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds
From give and take and still somehow
As every fairy tale comes real
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
I've looked at love from both sides now
I really don't know love at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
It's love's illusions I recall

The dizzy dancing way you feel

But now they only block the sun
I really don't know clouds at all
But now it's just another show
I've looked at life from both sides now
You leave them laughing when you go
From win and lose and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
Well, something's lost but something's gained

I really don't know life
I really don't know love at all

In living, living, living every day
To say I love you right aloud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
So many things I would have done
Don't give yourself away
But now old friends are acting strange

They rain and snow on everyone

I've looked at clouds that way
And feather canyons everywhere
And if you care don't let them know

I've looked at life that way
