Both Sides Now Lyrics

[00:07.01] Bows and flows of angel hair
[00:11.56] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:15.05] And feathered canyons everywhere
[00:19.07] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:22.82] But now they only block the sun
[00:27.05] They rain and snow on everyone
[00:31.23] So many things I would have done
[00:34.72] But clouds got in my way
[00:38.64] I've looked at clouds from both sides now
[00:42.70] From up and down and still somehow
[00:46.90] It's cloud's illusions I recall
[00:50.71] I really don't know clouds at all
[01:04.32] Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
[01:08.63] The dizzy dancing way you feel
[01:12.69] When every fairytale comes real
[01:16.58] I've looked at love that way
[01:20.48] But now it's just another show
[01:24.45] You leave 'em laughin' when you go
[01:28.40] And if you care don't let them know
[01:32.23] Don't give yourself away
[01:35.64] I've looked at love from both sides now
[01:39.96] From win and lose and still somehow
[01:44.19] It's love's illusions I recall
[01:48.18] I really don't know love at all
[02:01.30] Tears and fears and feeling proud
[02:05.89] To say, "I love you" right out loud
[02:09.56] Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
[02:13.64] I've looked at life that way
[02:17.39] But now old friends are acting strange
[02:21.39] They shake their heads, they say I've changed
[02:25.63] Well,something's lost but something's gained
[02:29.50] In living every day
[02:33.06] I've looked at life from both sides now
[02:37.39] From win and lose and still somehow
[02:41.47] It's life's illusions I recall
[02:45.59] I really don't know life at all
[02:59.84]
