[Verse]
DI've been living a new way 
Of the Alife that I love Dso 
But I can see the clouds are gathering
And Athe storm will wreck our Dhome
For last night he held you Gtightly
And you didn't even Dshove
DThis is true for I've been Awatching
From the Gwindow up Dabove
[Verse 2]
DYou must have thought that I was sleeping
And I Awish that I had Dbeen
But it's best to get to know you
And the Away your heart can Dsin
I thought we belonged Gtogether
And our hearts fit like a Dglove
I was wrong for I've been Awatching
From the Gwindow up Dabove
[Solo] 
[Verse 3]
BFrom my eyes, a teardrop Estarted
As I listened on and on
EI heard you whisper to him, softly
EThat our Bmarriage was all Ewrong
Well, I hope he makes you Ahappy
And you'll never lose his Elove
I lost mine while I was Bwatching
From the Awindow up Eabove
How I wish I could be Adreamin'
And wake up to a love that's Etrue
I lost mine while I was Bwatching
From the Awindow up Eabove

For last night he held you tightly

And you didn't even shove

This is true for I've been watching

From the window up above

[Verse 2]

You must have thought that I was sleeping

But it's best to get to know you

I thought we belonged together

And our hearts fit like a glove

I was wrong for I've been watching
