Both Sides Now Lyrics
[00:03.83] Bows and flows of angel hair
[00:11.52] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:15.81] And feathered canyons everywhere
[00:19.70] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:23.51] But now they only block the sun
[00:27.33] They rain and snow on everyone
[00:31.47] So many things I would have done
[00:35.65] But clouds got in my way
[00:39.22] I've looked at clouds from both sides now
[00:43.22] From up and down and still somehow
[00:47.78] It's cloud's illusions I recall
[00:51.59] I really don't know clouds at all
[01:04.40] Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
[01:09.53] The dizzy dancing way you feel
[01:13.16] When every fairytale comes real
[01:16.76] I've looked at love that way
[01:21.29] But now it's just another show
[01:24.92] You leave 'em laughin' when you go
[01:29.28] And if you care don't let them know
[01:33.18] Don't give yourself away
[01:36.66] I've looked at love from both sides now
[01:40.23] From win and lose and still somehow
[01:45.03] It's love's illusions I recall
[01:48.74] I really don't know love at all
[02:02.47] Tears and fears and feeling proud
[02:06.75] To say, "I love you" right out loud
[02:10.49] Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
[02:14.38] I've looked at life that way
[02:18.33] But now old friends are acting strange
[02:22.36] They shake their heads, they say I've changed
[02:26.80] Well,something's lost but something's gained
[02:30.17] In living every day
[02:33.69] I've looked at life from both sides now
[02:38.21] From win and lose and still somehow
[02:41.07] It's life's illusions I recall
[02:46.10] I really don't know life at all
[03:08.05]
[00:11.52] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:15.81] And feathered canyons everywhere
[00:19.70] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:23.51] But now they only block the sun
[00:27.33] They rain and snow on everyone
[00:31.47] So many things I would have done
[00:35.65] But clouds got in my way
[00:39.22] I've looked at clouds from both sides now
[00:43.22] From up and down and still somehow
[00:47.78] It's cloud's illusions I recall
[00:51.59] I really don't know clouds at all

[01:16.76] I've looked at love that way
[01:21.29] But now it's just another show
[01:24.92] You leave 'em laughin' when you go
[01:29.28] And if you care don't let them know
