Room with a view lyrics

I need a room with a view

An armchair by the window

A cup of coffee and a cigarette or two

Watch the sky turn from hazy grey to black

Watch my neighbours go to work

And look exhausted and burned out when they get back

Thinking about you

Thank god for this beautiful view

I recall you took me swimming

The sea was dark and cold

You had been there many times before

With many different girls I'd been told

But what's a man without a past

We love him for his lies and then

We try to break him down to make it last

'Til they come true

Thank god for this beautiful view

Beautiful view

You, you, you

You, I still love you

The dark is falling

And the city fills with lights

Cars like shining pearls on strings

Moving through the emptiness of night

The wine is running to my head

I'm spellbound by the moment

Can't get up, can't find the strenght to go to bed

Without you

Thank god for this beautiful view

Beautiful view

You, you, you

You, I still love you

I've been blind

Too blind to tell false from truth

I've been so busy running

Never stop to think where I was running to

But I've learned my lesson

from the tears I've had to cry

Sometimes it helps to take your time

To sit alone and watch the world go by

'Cause everyday it's new

Thank god for this beautiful view

Oh, everyday it's new

Thank god for this beautiful view

Thank god for this beautiful view
