Room With a View

I've been cherishing,

Through the perishing

winter nights and days,

A funny little phrase

That means so much to me,

That you've got to be

With me heart and soul,

For on you the whole thing leans.

Come with me and leave the noisy crowds,

Sunlight shines for us above the clouds.

Please don't turn away

Or my dream will stay

Hidden out of sight,

Among a lot of "might have beens"!

A room with a view,

And you,

And no-one to worry us,

No one to hurry us through

This dream we've found.

We'll gaze at the sky,

And try

To guess what it's all about,

Then we will figure out why

The world is round!

We'll be as happy and contented as birds upon a tree,

High above the mountains and the sea.

We'll bill and we'll coo-ooo-oo,

And sorrow will never come,

Oh, will it ever come true,

Our room with a view?

A room with a view,

And you,

And no-one to give advice,

That sounds like a paradise few

Could fail to choose.

With fingers entwined,

We'll find

Relief from the preachers

Who always beseech us to mind

Our P's and Q's.

We'll watch the whole world pass before us while we are sitting still,

Leaning on our own window sill.

We'll bill and we'll coo-ooo-oo,

And maybe a stork will bring

This, that and t'other thing

to our room with a view.
