[Verse 1]
     
Bows  and  flo

     
ws of  angel  

  
 hair
        
And ice cream 

   
castles    in 

   
  the      air
        
And feather ca

    
nyons everywhe

re
         
I've looked at

         
 clouds that w

   **
ay

[Verse 2]
    
But   now they

      
 only block th

   
e sun
    
They rain and 

  
snow on  every

 
one
     
So many  thing

        
s I would have

 
 done
      
But clouds got

          **
 in my way

[Chorus]
          
I've looked at

    
 clouds from b

       
oth sides now
         
From up and do

             
wn, and  st -

It's cloud ill

/

Moons and June

The dizzy  dan

    
cing    way yo

As every fairy

I've looked at

[Verse 4]
     
But   now  it'

      
s  just anothe

You leave 'em 

      
laughing when 

 
you     go
        
And if you car

     
e, don't let t

    
hem know
      
Don't give you

         **
rself away

[Chorus]
          
I've looked at

    
 love   from b

From give and

 proud
  
To say "I love

Dreams and sch

[Verse 6]
     
Oh but now old

        
  friends are 

       
acting strange
     
They shake the

      
ir heads, they

  
 say I've chan
