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 he hugged 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 him softly
That our marriage was all wrong
But I hope he makes you happy
And you will never loose his love
I lost mine while I was watching
From the window up above
Now I wish 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
