The Window Up Above Recorded by George Jones 1961 Recorded by Mickey Gilley 1975 Lyrics and music by George Jones C F I've been living a new way G7 C of life that I love so F But I can see the clouds are gathering G7 C and the storm will wreck our home C7 F For last night he hugged you tightly C and you didn't even shove G7 This is true for I've been watching F C from the window up above You must have thought that I was sleeping and 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 a teardrop started as I listened on and on I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong But I hope he makes you happy and you will never lose his love I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above C7 F How I wish I could be dreamin' C and wake up to a love that's true G7 But I was wrong for I've been watching F C from the window up above
