Just the Two of Us Lyrics – Grover Washington Jr.



Soundtrack Album: White Men Can't Jump
Just the Two of Us Text
I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I want to spend some time with you

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building them castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
And, darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I

(Just the two of us)
Yes, the two of us
(We can make it just the two of us)
Let's get it together, babe
(Just the two of us)
Yes, the two of us
(We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us
We can make it just the two of us
Just the two of us)

Annotations and Meaning

Opening Lines

"I see the crystal raindrops fall / And the beauty of it all / Is when the sun comes shining through"
These lines evoke a serene, scenic vision. Raindrops and sunrays evoke a sense of beauty and new beginnings in life, and the location suggests an optimistic attitude.

Theme of Togetherness

"Just the two of us / We can make it if we try"
Furthermore, the repeated line empowers both partners, implying that with mutual effort, the couple can overcome any obstacle and achieve their goals.

Dreams and Aspirations

"Building castles in the sky"
In truth, this metaphor depicts mutual aims and dreams, implying that "castles in the sky" are highs that they hope to achieve in life together.

Valuing Time

"We look for love, no time for tears / Wasted water's all that is"
He says that we should consider love and positive matters, as tears and wasted water do not help anything grow, and that would be unproductive sorrow.

Seizing the Moment

"Good things might come to those who wait / Not for those who wait too late"
This sentence suggests that, while waiting is admirable, there is a time and place to act before possibilities are lost.

Conclusion

"I hear the crystal raindrops fall / On the window down the hall / And it becomes the morning dew"
The parallelism of the last lines is the same as that of the first, and the song has gone full circle. As the night begins to turn into a new morning, so this would be symbolic of a new day and a fresh, lovely experience with the loved one. This masterpiece of Washington and Withers really stands the test of time as a song dedicated to love and partnership. Most importantly, it highlights purposes shared and how to make the best of a moment in the present.
