Lyrics

I see the (A7)crys tal rain drops (Dm)fall,

and the (F7)beau ty of it (Bbmaj7)all is when the (A7)sun comes shin ing (Dm7)through

to make those (A7)rain bows in my (Dm)mind, but when I (F7)think of you some (Bbmaj7)time and I want to spend some time with (Dm)you.

Just

the (Bbmaj7)two of us

we can (Dm7)make it if we try.

(F7)Just the (Bbmaj7)two of us.

(Just the two of us.)

Just

the (Bbmaj7)two of us

build ing (Dm7)cas tles in the sky.

(F7)Just the (Bbmaj7)two of us,

you and I.

We look for (A7)love; no time for (Dm)tears.

Wast ed (F7)wa ter’s all that (Bbmaj7)is, and it don’t (A7)make no flow ers (Dm7)grow.

Good things might (A7)come to those who (Dm)wait but not for (F7)those who wait too (Bbmaj7)late.

and We’ve got to go for all we (Dm)know.

Just

the (Bbmaj7)two of us

we can (Dm7)make it if we try.

(F7)Just the (Bbmaj7)two of us.

(Just the two of us.)

Just

the (Bbmaj7)two of us

build ing (Dm7)cas tles in the sky.

(F7)Just the (Bbmaj7)two of us,

you and I.

(Bbmaj7)two of us,

you and I.
