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
