Bill WithersJust The Two Of Us Lyrics:
I see the crystal raindrops fall,
And the beauty of it all,
Is when the sun comes shining through.
To make those rainbows in my mind,
When I think of you sometime,
And I wanna spend some time with you.
Just the two of us,
We can make it if we try.
Just the two of us.
(Just the two of us.)
Just the two of us,
Building castles in the sky,
Just the two of us, you and I.
We look for love, no time for tears,
Wasted waters's all that is,
And it don't make no flowers grow.
Good things might come to those who wait,
Not for those who wait too late.
We gotta go, for all we know.
Just the two of us,
We can make it if we try.
Just the two of us.
(Just the two of us.)
Just the two of us,
Building them castles in the sky,
Just the two of us, you and I.
[Instrumental breaks featuring
Grover Washington, Jr. on saxophone.]
I hear the crystal raindrops fall,
On the window down the hall,
And it becomes the mornin' dew.
And darlin', when the mornin' comes,
And I see the mornin' sun,
I want to be the one with you.
Just the two of us,
We can make it if we try.
Just the two of us.
(Just the two of us.)
Just the two of us,
Building big castles way on high,
Just the two of us, you and I.
[Female Backup:] Just the two of us. [Withers:] Yeah, just the two of us. [FB:] We can make it, just the two of us. [Male Tenor Backup:] Let's get it together, baby. [FB:] Yeah, just the two of us. [Male Baritone/Bass Backup:] Yes, just the two of us. [FB:] We can make it, just the two of us.
[Saxophone solo with the following vocals to end.] [FB:] Just the two of us.
We can make it, just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
We can make it, just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
We can make it, just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
We can make it, just the two of us. [Fade.]
(Just the two of us...)
