A Room With a View Lyrics

1928 Broadway
This Year of Grace the Musical - A Room With a View Lyrics


Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.

HE:
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.

SHE:
Won't you kindly tell me what you're driving at,
What conclusion you're arriving at?

HE:
Please don't turn away
Or my dream will stay
Hidden out of sight
Among a lot of might-
Have-beens!

HE:
A room with a view and you,
With 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.

SHE:
We'll be as happy and contented
As birds upon a tree,
High above the mountains and the sea.

BOTH:
We'll bill and we'll coo-oo-oo
And sorrow will never come,
Oh, will it ever come true,
Our room with a view.

SHE:
I'm so practical
I'd make tactical
Errors as your wife,
I'd try to set your life
To rights.
I'm upset a bit
For I get a bit
Dizzy now and then
Following your mental flights.

HE:
Come with me and leave behind the noisy crowds,
Sunlight shines for us above the clouds.

SHE:
My eyes glistened too
While I listened to
All the things you said,
I'm glad I've got a head
For heights.

SHE:
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.

HE:
We'll watch the whole world pass before us
While we are sitting still
Leaning on our own window-sill.

BOTH:
We'll bill and we'll coo-oo-oo,
And maybe a stork will bring
This, that and t'other thing to
Our room with a view.
