Just the two of us
Michael Rain 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
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building big castles way up high
Just the two of us
You and I

(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)




(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)

Edad 28 bitácora del capitán día domingo 21 de mayo
Manejo una moto q todo chiquillo querría es de ensueño
Dinero no me falta
Tengo la bendición de Dios y del diablo
Fui ayudado por ovnis un chingo de veses .
Morí como un mortal y renaci como un dios y no es literal morí de verdad
Me volví famoso y gozo de privilegios por se un héroe de guerra
E devuelto la fe de la gente en muchos lugares y rincones ✡️✝️
Me comberti en una leyenda de internet y usea biblia como si fuese un predicador divino

Y ahora me siento en mi sala a fumar un cigarrillo mientras escucho está canción
