Both Sides Now Lyrics
[00:07.09] Bows and flows of angel hair
[00:11.87] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:15.09] And feathered canyons everywhere
[00:19.04] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:23.60] But now they only block the sun
[00:27.81] They rain and snow on everyone
[00:32.09] So many things I would have done
[00:34.71] But clouds got in my way
[00:39.32] I've looked at clouds from both sides now
[00:43.40] From up and down and still somehow
[00:47.63] It's cloud's illusions I recall
[00:51.55] I really don't know clouds at all
[01:04.31] Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
[01:09.32] The dizzy dancing way you feel
[01:12.62] When every fairytale comes real
[01:16.46] I've looked at love that way
[01:21.02] But now it's just another show
[01:25.16] You leave 'em laughin' when you go
[01:28.40] And if you care don't let them know
[01:32.19] Don't give yourself away
[01:35.65] I've looked at love from both sides now
[01:40.98] From win and lose and still somehow
[01:45.19] It's love's illusions I recall
[01:48.85] I really don't know love at all
[02:01.24] Tears and fears and feeling proud
[02:06.54] To say, "I love you" right out loud
[02:09.54] Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
[02:13.54] I've looked at life that way
[02:17.38] But now old friends are acting strange
[02:21.34] They shake their heads, they say I've changed
[02:25.51] Well,something's lost but something's gained
[02:29.48] In living every day
[02:33.02] I've looked at life from both sides now
[02:38.22] From win and lose and still somehow
[02:41.45] It's life's illusions I recall
[02:46.36] I really don't know life at all
[02:57.77]
[00:11.87] And ice cream castles in the air
[00:15.09] And feathered canyons everywhere
[00:19.04] I've looked at clouds that way
[00:23.60] But now they only block the sun
[00:27.81] They rain and snow on everyone
[00:32.09] So many things I would have done
[00:34.71] But clouds got in my way
[00:39.32] I've looked at clouds from both sides now
[00:43.40] From up and down and still somehow
[00:47.63] It's cloud's illusions I recall
[00:51.55] I really don't know clouds at all

[01:16.46] I've looked at love that way
[01:21.02] But now it's just another show
[01:25.16] You leave 'em laughin' when you go
[01:28.40] And if you care don't let them know
