Just the two of us
Grover Washington Jr. (feat. 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 want to 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
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
Building 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 want to be the one with you.

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'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

@trash1328

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...
