(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 held 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 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 belong 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.

Now I wished I could be dreaming and wake up to a love that's true
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above...
