Joni Mitchell’s Grammy Performance Leaves Everyone Emotional

Mitchell: “ ♪  Rows and flows of angel hair ♪
♪ And ice cream castles in the air ♪
♪ And feather canyons everywhere ♪
♪ I looked at clouds that way ♪
♪ But now they only block the sun ♪
♪ They rain and they 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 that I recall ♪
♪ I really don’t know clouds at all ♪
♪ Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels ♪
♪ The dizzy dancing way that 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 ’em laughing when you go ♪
♪ And if you care, don’t let it show ♪
♪ 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 that I recall ♪
♪ I really don’t know love ♪
♪ At all ♪

(Cheering and Applause)

♪ 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, they’re acting strange ♪
♪ They shake their heads and they say ‘Joni, you’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 that I recall ♪
♪ I really don’t know life... I really don’t know life at all ♪

(Cheering and Applause)
