A Room With A View

  • 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 Writer/s: NOEL COWARD, NOEL PIERCE COWARD
