Both Sides Now - Live at the Royal Festival Hall

[Intro]
(The, uh, last song now
And, uh, it's another one you'll know very well
Because, uh, so many people have recorded it
They all beat me to it and, uh, so
Never got around to doing it
But I still enjoy singing it
And I hope you'll like to hear it
It's "Both Sides Now")

[Verse 1]
Bows and flows of angel hair
Ice cream castles in the air
And feathered 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Moons and Junes 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 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

[Chorus]
I've looked at love from both sides now
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

[Verse 3]
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
Now, old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say that I've changed
Though something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

[Chorus]
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
