Both Sides Now

Judy Collins
Amazing Grace

Bows and flows of angel hairAnd ice cream castles in the airAnd feathered canyons everywhereI've looked at clouds that wayBut now they only block the sunThey rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I would have doneBut clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down and still somehowIt's cloud's illusions I recallI really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and ferris wheelsThe dizzy dancing way you feelWhen every fairytale comes realI've looked at love that wayBut now it's just another showYou leave 'em laughin' when you goAnd if you care don't let them knowDon't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides nowFrom win and lose and still somehowIt's love's illusions I recallI really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proudTo say, "I love you" right out loudDreams and schemes and circus crowdsI've looked at life that wayBut now old friends are acting strangeThey shake their heads, they say I've changedWell,something's lost but something's gainedIn living every day

I've looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and lose and still somehowIt's life's illusions I recallI really don't know life at all
