Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

The Window Up Above

Of life that I love so

But I can see the clouds are gathering

And the storm will wreck our home

For last night he 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 know you

And the way your heart can sin

I thought we belong together

And our hearts fit like a glove

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 him softly

That our marriage was all wrong

But I hope he makes you happy

And you will never loose his love

I was wrong I was watching

From the window up above

How I wish I could be dreaming

And wake up to an honest love

I was wrong for I was watching

From the window up above
