Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 some time
And I want to spend some time with you
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
We look for love
No time for tears
Wasted water, all it is
And that don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
But no for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it become the morning dew
And darlin' when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I wanna be the one with you
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Just the two of us
Let's get it together, baby
Baby, yes, uh
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
You and I
