Both sides now

I’ve looked at leaves from both sides now. And I have the photo to prove it.

Rows 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 cloud 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,
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.

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.

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.

origininally sung by Joni Mitchell

This is Joni Mitchell singing her hit Both Sides Now. She wrote this as a young woman. Even though she was so young, Joni knew so much of life because of near-death struggles with a string of malicious diseases including polio which restricted the movement in her left hand.
