(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 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

[ piano ]

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 wished 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
