Both Sides Now Lyrics
[00:10.56] Rows and flows of angel hair
[00:14.96] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:19.75] And feather canyons everywhere
[00:25.56] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:30.52] But now they only block the sun
[00:34.70] They rain and snow on everyone
[00:39.73] So many things I would've done
[00:44.75] But clouds got in my way
[00:50.34] I've looked at clouds from both sides now
[00:54.58] From up and down, and still somehow
[00:59.83] It's cloud illusions, I recall
[01:04.32] I really don't know clouds at all
[01:13.43]
[01:21.24] Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
[01:26.50] The dizzy dancin' way you feel
[01:31.58] As every fairy tale comes real
[01:37.57] I've looked at love that way
[01:41.52] But now it's just another show
[01:46.23] You leave 'em laughin' when you go
[01:51.02] And if you care, don't let them know
[01:56.01] Don't give yourself away
[02:01.69] I've looked at love from both sides now
[02:05.61] From give and take, and still somehow
[02:10.93] It's love's illusions, I recall
[02:15.78] I really don't know love at all
[02:25.35]
[02:33.36] Tears and fears and feeling proud
[02:37.62] To say "I love you" right out loud
[02:42.43] Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
[02:48.28] I've looked at life that way
[02:53.29] But now old friends are acting strange
[02:57.30] They shake their heads, they say I've changed
[03:02.23] Well, something's lost, but something's gained
[03:08.36] In living every day
[03:12.96] I've looked at life from both sides now
[03:17.09] From win and lose and still somehow
[03:22.02] It's life's illusions, I recall
[03:26.98] I really don't know life at all
[03:37.15]
[03:44.28] I've looked at life from both sides now
[03:48.76] From up and down, and still somehow
[03:53.63] It's life's illusions, I recall
[03:58.63] I really don't know life at all
[04:05.46]
[00:14.96] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:19.75] And feather canyons everywhere
[00:25.56] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:30.52] But now they only block the sun
[00:34.70] They rain and snow on everyone
