Just A Two Of Us
Grover Washington Jr. & Bill Withers 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)

Line by Line Meaning

I see the crystal raindrops fall
I observe the beautiful crystal raindrops falling from the sky


And the beauty of it all
The whole scene is beautiful and mesmerizing


Is when the sun comes shining through
Especially when the sun shines through, creating a rainbow effect


To make those rainbows in my mind
This creates a beautiful visual imagery in my mind, which I associate with you


When I think of you sometime
When I occasionally think about you


And I want to spend some time with you
I desire to spend quality time with you


Just the two of us
It's just you and me


We can make it if we try
We can achieve anything we set our minds to


Building castles in the sky
We dream of great things and aim for the stars


You and I
We are the only two people who matter right now


We look for love no time for tears
We are looking for love and don't have time for sadness or regret


Wasted water's all that is
Crying or feeling sorry for ourselves is a waste of time


And it don't make no flowers grow
It doesn't lead to any positive outcomes


Good things might come to those who wait
Sometimes good things come to those who are patient


Not for those who wait too late
But not for those who wait too long to take action


We gotta go for all we know
We need to take chances and go after what we want in life


I hear the crystal raindrops fall
I again hear the beautiful sound of the crystal raindrops


On the window down the hall
I hear the raindrops hitting the window in another part of the house


And it becomes the morning dew
The raindrops become the morning dew on the grass and flowers


And darling when the morning comes
And my love, when morning arrives


And I see the morning sun
When I see the beauty of the sunrise


I want to be the one with you.
I want to share this moment with you and be by your side.

I hear the crystal raindrops fall...
And the beauty of it all...
That'd be when the sun's shining through
But the thunder still rings in my mind
And I can't recall your face in time
So please share these moments with someone new

Just the two of you

I don't want to make you cry
Just the two of you
(Just the two of you)

Just the two of you
Safe, out of reach in the sky
Just the two of you
You and that guy

Can't look for love when I can't see
Everything's blurred in front of me
From the flashing rainstorm in my eyes
Good things do come for those who wait
But some of us should wait too late
I'm unworthy of you, I realize

Just the two of you
I don't want to make you cry
Just the two of you
(Just the two of you)

Just the two of you
Safe, out of reach in the sky
Just the two of you
You and that guy

I see the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
Still waiting for them to shine anew
But darling, too many mornings passed
And I'm still sleeping through sunrise
While you need someone there with you

Just the two of you
I don't want to make you cry
Just the two of you
(Just the two of you)

Just the two of you
Safe, out of reach in the sky
Just the two of you
You and that guy

Just the two of you
Yes, the two of you
You can make it just the two of you
