Just the two of us
Withers (Bill) 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)

Overall Meaning

In the song "Just The Two Of Us," Bill Withers sings about the beauty of life when shared with someone special. The first verse describes the light shining through raindrops and creating rainbows in the mind. The imagery illustrates the idea that life's beauty is amplified when experienced with the right person. The chorus repeats the phrase "Just the two of us," emphasizing the idea that a strong relationship requires two people who are committed and willing to work together. They can build "castles in the sky" and overcome any obstacle if they try.


The second verse takes on a more serious tone, discussing the consequences of wasting time and not acting upon one's desires. Withers sings about the importance of seizing opportunities and going after what you want rather than waiting around for something to happen. He encourages listeners to take risks in love and to not wait too long to pursue a relationship. The final verse returns to the positive outlook of the first, celebrating the morning sun and the joy of being with a loved one.

I see the crystal raindrops fall
I observe the beauty of nature's tears as they drop from the sky.


And the beauty of it all
I am mesmerized by the loveliness of this scene.


Is when the sun comes shining through
The most beautiful moment is when the sun peeks through the clouds and illuminates the world.


To make those rainbows in my mind
The sunlight creates a colorful and magical image in my imagination.


When I think of you sometime
At moments when you come to mind,


And I wanna spend some time with you
I long to spend time with you.


Just the two of us
Only you and I,


We can make it if we try
If we endeavor, we can accomplish anything.


(Just the two of us)
Just you and me together,


Building castles in the sky
We dream of building things that might seem impossible to others.


We look for love, no time for tears
We search for affection without pausing for pain.


Wasted water's all that is
Crying is no use and only results in wasted tears.


And it don't make no flowers grow
Crying will not help the flowers grow, and it won't help our love grow either.


Good things might come to those who wait
Sometimes, waiting patiently pays off with good things.


Not for those who wait too late
But if we wait too long, those good things may never arrive.


We gotta go for all we know
We must take a chance, and give it our all in whatever we pursue.


On the window down the hall
I hear the raindrops tapping on a faraway windowpane.


And it becomes the morning dew
These raindrops will become a part of the morning dew.


And darling when the morning comes
My dear, when the morning arrives,


And I see the morning sun
And I gaze upon the morning sun,


I wanna be the one with you
I wish to share that moment with you.


Let's get it together baby (yeah)
Let's come together, my love (yeah).
