LYRICS:

I see the crystal raindrops fall
And see the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted waters's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait to late
We got to go for all we know

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I

Just the two of us
Let's get together, baby
Just the two of us
We can make it
Just the two of us
We can make it
Just the two of us

Hi grancop1, don't worry: that user is a well-known racist troll who offend people in almost 99% of the videos he liked. He has already been reported to Youtube and they are taking action. There are plenty of comments wrote by him full of insults and profanity, and I invite everyone to report him to YT. Anyway,his luck ran out the moment he dared offend me via pm with a with a homophobic slur. It's a pity nor you or my dad can arrest him,he really need to learn education, respect and humbleness.
