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


自分は　THE TIGERSのFINALEの2曲目で岸辺シローの歌う「青春の光と影」で初めて知りました
今朝　上田正樹のバージョンを初めて聴きました（イマジンの1曲目に収録されてます）
オリジナルは誰が歌ってたのかなーと調べましたら　一杯出来てきてわかんなくなりました
多分ジョニ・ミッチェルのバージョンが一番有名なのかなと

チェット・アトキンスやパット・マルティーノのバージョンもあるのが嬉しいですね


"Both Sides, Now"
is a song by Joni Mitchell, and one of her best-known songs.
First recorded by Judy Collins in 1967, it subsequently appeared on Mitchell's 1969 album Clouds.
She re-recorded the song in a lusher, orchestrated version for her 2000 album Both Sides Now.

Mitchell wrote "Both Sides, Now" in March 1967, inspired by a passage in Henderson the Rain King, a 1959 novel by Saul Bellow.
