A Room With A View - Noël Coward

I’ve been cherishing

Through the perishing

Winter nights and days

A funny little phrase

That means

Such a lot 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 behind 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 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 sea

We’ll bill and we’ll coo

Oooh

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 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 windowsill

We’ll bill and we’ll coo

Oooh

And maybe a stork will bring

This and t’other thing to

Our room with a view
