[C] [B7] [Em] [G] [C] [B7] [Em] [C]I see the [B7]crystal rain drops [Em]fall, and the [G]beauty of it [C]all Is when [B7]the sun comes [Em]shining through, [C]to make those [B7]rainbows in my [Em]mind, When I think [G]of you [C]sometime, and I want to [B7]spend some time with [Em]you.

Just the [C]two of us, [B7]we can make [Em]it if we [G7]try, Just the [C]two of [B7]us, just the [Em]two of us. Just the [C]two of us, [B7]building [Em]castles in the [G7]sky, Just the [C]two of [B7]us, you [Em]and I.

[C]We look for [B7]love, no time for [Em]tears, wasted [G]water’s all [C]that is, And it [B7]don’t make no [Em]flowers grow, [C]good things [B7]might come to [Em]those who wait, But not for [G]those who wait [C]too late, we’ve got to [B7]go for all we know. [Em]

Just the [C]two of us, [B7]we can make [Em]it if we [G7]try, Just the [C]two of [B7]us, just the [Em]two of us. Just the [C]two of us, [B7]building [Em]castles in the [G7]sky, Just the [C]two of [B7]us, you [Em]and I.

[Em]

Just the [C]two of us, [B7]we can make [Em]it if we [G7]try, Just the [C]two of [B7]us, just the [Em]two of us. Just the [C]two of us, [B7]building [Em]castles in the [G7]sky, Just the [C]two of [B7]us, you [Em]and I.
