Watchin’ Over Me Songtext
von James Taylor

Watchin′ over me when I was high
Holdin' my hand and wipin′ my eye
Watchin me cheat, watchin' me lie
Oh, watchin' over me

Lookin′ back over on the damage I done
Made no kind of plan to be carryin′ on
Thought I might ought to been dead and gone
I said, "Oh, the damage done"

How'm I gonna pay that debt I owe
Big red Jesus on the radio
Down on my knees after the show
I said, "Oh, the debt I owe"


(Learned my lesson again)
I learned my lesson again
(Learned my lesson again)
I learned my lesson again
(Learned my lesson again)
Only one way to surrender
Learned my lesson again
(Learned my lesson again)
Got to return it to sender
(Learned my lesson again)
Leave a little light in the window
(Learned my lesson again)
Got to remember my friend

Guess I got to say it′s a lovely day
Nice enough to know it could ever be so
Ready man, steady man, here I'm gonna go
I said, "Oh, the lovely day"

Oh
Oh
Oh, watchin′ over me
(Oh, watchin' over me)
Oh, the damage I done
(Oh, the damage I done)
Oh, the debt I owe
(Oh, the debt I owe)
Oh, the lovely day
(Oh, the lovely day)
Oh, watchin′ over me
(Oh, watchin' over me)
Oh, watchin' over me
(Oh, watchin′ over me)


Hmm the debt I owe
Oh, watchin′ over me
(Oh, watchin' over me)
Oh, the debt I owe
