Rows and flows of angel hair 00:11
And ice cream castles in the air 00:15
And feather canyons everywhere 00:20
I've looked at clouds that way 00:25
But now they only block the sun 00:30
They rain and snow on everyone 00:35
So many things I would've done 00:40
But clouds got in my way 00:45
I've looked at clouds from both sides now 00:50
From up and down, and still somehow 00:54
It's cloud illusions, I recall 00:59
I really don't know clouds at all 01:04

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels 01:23
The dizzy dancin' way you feel 01:26
As every fairy tale comes real 01:31
I've looked at love that way 01:37
But now it's just another show 01:42
You leave 'em laughin' when you go 01:46
And if you care, don't let them know 01:51
Don't give yourself away 01:57
I've looked at love from both sides now 02:01
From give and take, and still somehow 02:05
It's love's illusions, I recall 02:10
I really don't know love at all 02:15
02:25
Tears and fears and feeling proud 02:33
To say "I love you" right out loud 02:37
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds 02:43
I've looked at life that way 02:48
But now old friends are acting strange 02:53
They shake their heads, they say I've changed 02:57
Well, something's lost, but something's gained 03:02
In living every day 03:08
I've looked at life from both sides now 03:13

Paroles:

[English]

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've 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 dancin' 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 laughin' 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

...

    ➔ Conditionnel Passé (Troisième Conditionnelle)

    ➔ Utilise "would've done" (would have done), impliquant que ces choses n'ont pas été réellement faites à cause des nuages. C'est une situation hypothétique dans le passé.

  • It's cloud illusions, I recall

    ➔ Groupe Nominal comme Complément du Sujet

  • Well, something's lost, but something's gained

    ➔ Voix Passive (Implicite)

    ➔ Bien que ce ne soit pas explicitement passif, la phrase suggère une action qui est faite *à* quelque chose, plutôt que *par* quelque chose. "Something's lost" implique "Something *is* lost (par un acteur inconnu)".
