I've been living a new way Of life that I love so But I can see the clouds are gathering And the storm will wreck our home For last night he held you tightly And you didn't even shove This is true for I've been watching (watching you) From the window up above You must have thought that I was sleeping And I wish that I had been But it's guess to get to know you And the way your heart can sin I thought we belonged together And our hearts fit like a glove But I was wrong for I've been watching (watching you) From the window up above From my eyes the teardrops started As I listened on and on I heard you whisper to him softly That our marriage was all wrong But I hope he makes you happy And you will never lose his love I lost mine while I was watching (watching you) From the window up above How I wish I could be dreaming And wake up to an honest love that's true But I'm wrong for I've been watching (watching you) From the window up above
