[Verse 1]

           
Rows and floes

         
 of angel hair
             
And ice cream 

        
castles in the

  
 air
            
And feather ca

        
nyons everywhe

re
           
I've looked at

             
 clouds that w

ay
             
But now they o

           
nly block the 

 
sun
            
They rain and 

        
snow on everyo

ne
            
So many things

    
 I would have 

done
           
But clouds got

       
 in my way

[Chorus 1]

             
I've looked at

             
 clouds from b

          
oth sides now
            
From up and do

             
wn, and still 

    
somehow
           
It's cloud ill

       
usions I recal

l
             
I really don't

           
 know clouds a

                     
t all

[Verse 2]

           
Moons and June

             
s and ferris w

 
heels
          
The dizzy, dan

           
cing way you f


eel
            
As every fairy

            
 tale comes re

al
           
I've looked at

            
 love that way

            
But now it's j

           
ust another sh

ow
             
You leave 'em 

        
laughing when 

    
you go
            
And if you car

         
e don't let th

em know
           
Don't give you

       
rself away

[Chorus 2]

             
I've looked at

             
 love from bot

        
h sides now
             
From give and 

            
take and still

    
 somehow
            
It's love's il

       
lusions I reca

ll
             
I really don't

           
 know love at 

                     
all

[Verse 3]

           
Tears and fear

             
s and feeling 


proud
            
To say, "I lov

         
e you" right o

     
ut loud
             
Dreams and sch

             
emes and circu

  
s crowds
           
I've looked at

            
 life that way
            
But now old fr

            
iends are acti

      
ng strange
             
They shake the

         
ir heads, they

           
 say I've chan

ged
             
Well something

           
's lost but so

mething's gain

ed
           
In living ever

  
y day

[Chorus 3]

             
I've looked at

             
 life from bot

        
h sides now
             
From win and l

            
ose and still 

   
somehow
            
It's life's il

       
lusions I reca

ll
             
I really don't

           
 know life, at

[Extra Chorus]
             
I've looked at

From up and do
