Capo I  *
 G   C   G    C2x
GBows and Amflows of Cangel Ghair and ice cream Bmcastles Cin the Gair
And feather Ccanyons Ameverywhere, I've Clooked at clouds that Dway.
But Gnow they Amonly Cblock the Gsun, they rain and Bmsnow on CeveryGone.
So many Cthings I Amwould have done but Cclouds got in my Dway.
I've Glooked at Amclouds from Cboth sides Gnow,
From Cup and Gdown, and Cstill someGhow
It's Bmclouds ilClusions GI recall.
                   C    D   Dsus     D     G   G   C   G    C2x
I really don't know clouds   at all.
GMoons and AmJunes and CFerris Gwheels, the dizzy Bmdancing Cway you Gfeel
When every Cfairy Amtale comes real; I've Clooked at love that Dway.
But Gnow it's Amjust aCnother Gshow, you leave 'em Bmlaughing Cwhen you Ggo
And if you Ccare, don't Amlet them know, don't Cgive yourself aDway.
I've Glooked at Amlove from Cboth sides Gnow,
From Cwin and Glose, and Cstill someGhow
It's Bmlove's ilClusions GI recall.
                   C   D   Dsus     D     G   G   C   G    C2x
I really don't know love    at all.
GTears and Amfears and Cfeeling Gproud to say "I Bmlove you" Cright out Gloud,
Dreams and Cschemes and Amcircus crowds, I've Clooked at life that Dway.
But Gnow old Amfriends are Cacting Gstrange, they shake their Bmheads, they Csay
I've Gchanged.
But something's Clost but Amsomething's gained in Cliving every Dday.
I've Glooked at Amlife from Cboth sides Gnow,
From Cwin and Glose, and Cstill someGhow
It's Bmlife's ilClusions GI recall.

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go

C Am C D

And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.

But something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
