Lyrics
Lookin’ through the windows
The window to your heart
Oh baby, yeah
I can see it’s cloudy
The rain’s about to start
Lookin’ through the windows
It seems I caused your fears
And that little doubt, girl
And now it’s bringing tears
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don’t you worry ’cause I’m gonna stay
Right by your side
To keep on lookin’ through the windows
Lookin’ in your eyes
Looking through the windows
Seems like the only way, yeah
I can’t know your feelings
If you still love me today
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don’t you worry ’cause I’m gonna stay
Right by your side
To keep on lookin’ through the windows
Lookin’ in your eyes
