antiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiga.

a house is not a home

a chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sitting there
but you know, a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
when there's no one there to hold you tight
and no one there you can kiss when you say goodnight

a room is a still a room, even when there's nothing there but gloom
but, oh babe, a room is not a house and a house is not a home
when the two of us are far apart
and one of us has a broken heart

now and then i call your name
and suddenly your face appears
but, oh, it's just... just some kinda crazy game
when it ends, it ends in tears

hey daddy, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart
you know i'm just not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
when i climb the stair and turn the key
oh, please be there, still in love with me

without you a house is not a home
please be there and be still in love with me...

both sides now

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
and you leave them 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
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

oh, but now old friends they're acting strange
and they shake their heads
and they tell me that 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 love
really don't know love at all
