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
