Just the Two of Us
Grover Washington Jr. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 water'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

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
And darling when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I wanna 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

(Just the two of us) just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
Let's get it together baby (yeah)
(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)
(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)

@Ravagaj86

I've listened to this song for years. Been singing this to my best mate's cat for quite some time... usually when I cat sit lol...

Normally singing this with joy but today it brings tears as I have to say my goodbyes today.

She will be very missed by myself as I know she chose me... not the other way round. Which makes it even more special.

I will see her again one day when my time comes but I will always remember the times she celebrated with me, and comforted me in my time of need.

Love you Bonnie. You will always be an amazing cat and I'm proud, privileged and honoured to have had you in my life you special girl. Much love always Bons xx

Impossível explicar
Passei por tanta coisa
Pelo menos agora eu posso ficar com você
Fico feliz que acabou
E agora a gente tá junto

Oh Deus, oh Deus
Encontrei o meu
A jornada foi longa
Mas acabou, meu Deus
E agora com você, fica tudo bem mais fácil
Tudo fiz e faço pra poder te dar um abraço
Viajei por vários mundos, várias dimensões
Eu já vi de tudo, fui heróis e fui vilões
Em uma vida eu traficava mas o negócio não era bom
Prefiro ficar em casa curtir essa com você Robson

Descendo a escada lá do céu me pergunto de onde vim
Será que o destino planejou isso pra mim?
Me recuso a crer
Me pergunto se é o fim
Posso descançar
Posso descançar enfim

Cê' não ia acreditar nas coisas que eu vi
Melhor dizendo nas coisas que eu vivi
Senti na pele a vida de um ladrão de um Traficante
De um amante de idosa e de um estudante
Vivi bastante pra cobrir 50 vida'
Achei que era uma viajem só de ida
Tomei dedada no butico e até perdi a vida
Tive doença venérea e fui terraplanista

Mas mesmo tendo chupado minha própria pica
Mesmo tendo namorado um ouriço armado
Mesmo tendo derrubado meu vô e matado
Mesmo tendo sonegado imposto toda vida toda a vida
Mesmo tendo sido meio insano e caipira
Mesmo tendo batalhado com um demônio-sogra
Mesmo tendo matado alguém na pista

Mesmo tendo vivido todas essas vida'
Algo sempre parecia tá errado
Mesmo tendo vivido todas essas vida'
Eu ainda prefiro tá do teu lado Robson

Descendo a escada lá do céu me pergunto de onde vim
Será que o destino planejou isso pra mim?
Me recuso a crer
Me pergunto se é o fim
Posso descançar
Posso descançar enfim...
