Cover art for Just The Two Of Us lyrics by Bill Withers

This song is a bout a middle age couple who have lived the first part of their lives raising their kids and as the last child leaves the home the night before, the husband wakes up the next morning and realizes they are now empty-nesters. He awakens his beautiful loving wife, looks deeply into her eyes and sings "Just the Two of Us". They are now ready for the next phase of life spending it together determined to make it fulfilling all of their goals they never met in the first half of life while raising their children before death comes.
