Nana Mouskouri - From Both Sides Now lyrics

rate me

Rolls and flows of angel hair,

Ice cream castles in the air,

Feather canyons everywhere,

I've looked at clouds that way.

But now they only block the sun.

They rain, they snow on everyone.

So many things I would've 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 Junes and ferris wheels,

The dizzy, dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real.

I've looked at love that way.

But now it's just another show.

Leave 'em laughin' when you go.

But if you care, don't let em' 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,

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 and say I've changed.

But something's lost when somethings gained

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.
