Both Sides Now Lyrics - That's Just The Way I Want To Be - Blossom Dearie

Bows 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 they 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 cloud illusions I recall 

I really don't know clouds at all 

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels 

The dizzy dancing way that you feel 

As every fairy tale comes real 

I've looked at love that way 

But now it's just another show 

And you leave 'em 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 

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 

Oh but now old friends they're acting strange 

And they shake their heads 

And they tell me that I've changed 

Well something's lost but something's gained 

In living every day 

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 

It's life's illusions I recall 

I really don't know life 

I really don't know life at all
