Window Up Above (v1)

George Jones · Greatest Hits [EMI-Capitol] [1967]

(George Jones)



I've been living a new way

Of life that I love so

But I can see the clouds are gathering

And the storm will wreck our home.



For last night he hugged you tightly

And you didn't even shove

This is true for I've been watching

From the window up above.



You must have thought that I was sleeping

And I wish that I had been

But it's best to get to know you

And the way your heart can sin.



I thought we belonged together

And our hearts fit like a glove

But I was wrong for I've been watching

From the window up above.



--- Instrumental ---



From my eyes the teardrops started

As I listened on and on

Heard you whisper to him softly

That our marriage was all wrong.



But I hope he makes you happy

And you will never lose his love

I lost my mind while I was watching

From the window up above.



Now I wished I could be dreaming

And wake up to a love that's true

But I was wrong for I've been watching

From the window up above...
