Nana Mouskouri Both sides now Lyrics

Pows and flows of angel hair,
and ice cream castles in the air,
and feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and tombs and ferris wheels,
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real.
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show.
You leave them laughing when you go.
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living everyday.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
