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.
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 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.
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
I don't know who I am but you know, life is for learning.
Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell.
Keep a good heart. That's the most important thing in life. It's not how much money you make or what you can acquire. The art of it is to keep a good heart.
And the seasons, they go round and round,/ And the painted ponies go up and down./ We're captive on the carousel of time.
Say, won't you stay; we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses
People think it's being remodeled, ... I tell them, and they say, 'What? What do you mean they're tearing down the old high-school building?'
Sorrow is easy to express and so hard to tell.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud.
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.
Fame is a series of misunderstandings surrounding a name.
