(Bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum)
Rows and floes 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 cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all
(Bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum)
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 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 at all
(Bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum)
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 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
(Bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum)
I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all
(Bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum)
