Just The Two of Us- Grover Washington Jr. With Bill Withers
Grover Washington Jr. with Bill Withers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the beauty of it all
When the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
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 to those who wait too late
We got to 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
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning 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
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us, you and I
Just the two of us, let's get together, baby
Just the two of us, we can make it
Just the two of us, we can make it
Just the two of us, just the two of us
We can make it

The chorus, "Just the two of us, we can make it if we try, building castles in the sky, just the two of us, you and I," is a declaration of the power of love and a promise to work together to create a beautiful life.

I see the crystal raindrops fall
I witness the transparent droplets of water from the sky falling down
And the beauty of it all
The stunning nature of the raindrop's descent is captivating
When the sun comes shining through
When the sunlight cuts through the raindrop-filled sky
To make those rainbows in my mind
The sunlight refracts through water droplets and creates a colourful image in my imagination
When I think of you some time
On occasion, I contemplate you
And I want to spend some time with you
I desire to allocate time to be with you
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
The two of us working together can lead us to success if we persevere
Just the two of us, just the two of us
Only the two of us are needed for this endeavour
Building castles in the sky
We are dreaming and envisioning things that are seemingly impossible
We look for love, no time for tears
Our focus is on finding love and not wasting our energy on sorrow
Wasted water's all that is
Crying is a fruitless exercise
And it don't make no flowers grow
Tears do not evoke growth or beauty
Good things might come to those who wait
Patience can yield positive outcomes
Not to those who wait too late
However, waiting too long can lead to missed opportunities
We got to go for all we know
We must take chances and give it all we've got
Building big castles way on high
We are creating something grand and ambitious
Just the two of us, let's get together, baby
The two of us should spend time together and align our goals
We can make it
Our joint effort can lead to success

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
