Mary Hopkin — 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
