Lyrics and music by George Jones


          C                F
I've been living a new way
    G7              C
of life that I love so
                                      F
But I can see the clouds are gathering
        G7                   C
and the storm will wreck our home
                  C7         F         
For last night he hugged you tightly
                    C
and you didn't even shove
                            G7
This is true for I've been watching
         F          C
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 belonged 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 a teardrop started
as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly
that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope he makes you happy
and you will never lose his love
I lost mine while I was watching
from the window up above

       C7              F
How I wish I could be dreamin'
                             C
and wake up to a love that's true
                              G7
But I was wrong for I've been watching
         F         C          
from the window up above
