Room With A View - Lou Rawls

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
