"The Window Up Above" lyrics

The Window Up Above

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 she 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
Oh, Lord, 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

From my eyes the teardrops started
As I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly
That our marriage was all wrong

But I hope she makes you happy
And you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching
From the window up above

How I wish I could be dreaming
Wake up to the love that's true
But I can't for I was watching
From the window up above
