Just The Two Of Us
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
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
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 waters'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 big 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, we can make it
Just the two of us, just the two of us
Building big castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Just the two of us, let's get together, baby
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

As a recording, it represents the peak of Mathis's ability to blend classical piano arrangements with pop sensibilities, creating a timeless atmosphere often associated with mid-century Hollywood romance films.
