Bill Withers - Watching You Watching Me Lyrics






Watching you watching me
It's so easy to see
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes

Watching me watching you
It's so obviously true
That it's your loving me
That makes my life a paradise

When lovers meet
And light a spark
Their eyes give the game away
Somehow it's a feeling you can never hide
No matter how hard you try

When lovers speak
It's from the heart
And all of the things they say
Are part of the magic and the mystery
You hear in a gentle sigh

Watching you watching me
Girl, ain't it easy to see?
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes

Watching me watching you
Girl, I believe that it's true
That it's your loving me
That makes my life a paradise

The times we had
The fun and games
The things that I can't forget
We share in those very special memories
All lovers do smile about

I'm so glad you feel the same
There's nothing to regret
It's free for the simple love is there for you
To bring all the feelings out

Watching you watching me
Girl, ain't it easy to see?
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes

Watching me watching you
Girl, I believe that it's true
That it's your loving me
That makes my life a paradise

There's a language
Spoken only by lovers
Words and phrases
That they make with their eyes
You might try it
But you'll never change things

No one comes…(?)

Let's celebrate what life's about
Let's sing out the melody
The words and the music to our song of love
Are sweeter than anything
'Cause if we wait
We might lose out
On things that were meant to be
With all of the secrets that the heart can hold
Left dangling on a string

Watching you watching me
Girl, ain't it easy to see?
That it's my loving you
That puts the starlight in your eyes

Watching me watching you
Girl, I believe you know that it's true
Sweet girl, that I love you
You make my life a paradise

[Repeat first choruses]

    Wow! This song gives me the feels!

  22. J.... J....

    An endless classic

  23. r.... ....

    This is by far, one of my favorite Bill Withers recordings. This tune is just so lyrically masterful. And yet, not very complicated. And, the musicianship (I'm guessing) was the Studio artists of the N.Y. Connection. People like: Richard Tee-organ; Steve Gadd-drums; Hugh McCracken & Eric Gale-guitars; maybe Anthony Jackson or Gordon Edwards-guitar bass; And on percussion...perhaps Ralph McDonald who may also be the composer (along with his writing partner - William Salter). This duo wrote: JUST THE TWO OF US

    r.... ....

    That's my Bill Withers summary. Smooth bass accompanied by the king of fender rhodes, Richard Tee.

    r.... ....

    My garden boy stolen my collections including Billy Withers Cd.Billy is still outstanding with his music.

  24. T.... G....

  32. d.... b....

    Inducted into the Songwriters 'Hall of Fame" in 2005, but was in mine a couple of decades earlier. Quit the music business because it was fake, but his songs continued to be popular, and used in everything from commercials, to soundtracks. Who knows how wealthy this man is. One of my favorite people ever!

  38. D.... ....

    WOW. This is better than anything that's out today.

    dcaseng dontcha just miss MUSIC... the actual process of creating it instrumental and vocal, in depth lyrics that mean something that you can understand, no double entendres. A true expression of the human form that lives forever... Instead of this overly processed "trap-hop pop" society we live in now😧

  39. E.... ....

    Soothing!

  63. s.... ....

    I've always loved this song... <3
    Taken from Bill Withers last album with the same title ("Watching You Watching Me") from 1985.
    It's a pure delight listening to his classic voice accompanied by slick production and musicians such as David Foster, Larry Carlton, Ralph McDonald & Michel Colombier etc..
    "When lovers speak
    It's from the heart
    And all of the things they say
    Are part of the magic and the mystery
    You hear in a gentle sigh"

  64. C.... W....

    he like jim brown just quit his art all of a sudden a great singer still

  65. s.... m....

    @mes6712 . conar

  66. S.... ....

    man this song is great !!!!

  67. p.... ....

    Gotta love this song! Went under the radar back in the '80's; to the dismay of real music lovers.

  68. B.... T....

    this song is the best thing for lovers. Bill had so much love in him, love to give, love he had received. This song represents the greatest love that we all have experienced. Love for another, love given and love received. Listen to this song and dream away, for in the beginning and in the end, LOVE is what it's all about.

  69. K.... L....

    Check out Grover Washington's version of this song. It's nice also.

  70. S.... H....

    mellow!!!!

  71. b.... ....

    Does anyone know how to get the Jon Lucien version just a little better but Bill is throwin down

    b.... ....

    Jon Lucien on vocals

  72. H.... P....

    Celle qui me fait rêver . Celle qui me fait aimer ... On as beau avoir 20 ans mais on peut aimer celle qui en ont 40 . Une époque que je ne connaîrai jamais ... Mais dans mes rêves je l'ai vue .

    Bill <3

  73. s.... ....

    Does anyone think the opening of this sounds alot like "Ring Around Your Finger" from the Police? Of course Bill was the original.

  74. c.... ....

    @bevanne12 how can some one disagree with u ????

  75. J.... J....

    @73dodge I agree whole heartedly todays artists are lacking; an most of what they lack is "TALENT" the singer song writers are gone so sad, now these thugs and rip-off mimicks are volgar and x-rated true artist like Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Smokie Robinson, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandros, and the list goes on we have lost all the greats..

  76. M.... ....

    @jaybuddah : I`m borrowing your very first line because it is absolutely true.

  77. x.... ....

    Soothing!

  78. h.... ....

    Need the Grover Washington Jr Version What Album is it on?

    h.... ....

    I do NOT disagree!

  81. s.... ....
