• 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
  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

  Joni Mitchell
