Just the two of us
Toshinobu Kubota Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Oh 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 castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

Grover Washington's saxophone solos would've made this a masterpiece. Nonetheless, this is a great rendition of one of his well-known works.
