Kelli O'Hara - What More Do I Need? lyrics

Once I hated this city Now it can't get me down Slushy, humid and gritty What a pretty town What thought I could be duller More depressing, less gay Now my favorite color Is gray A wall of rain as it turns to sleep The lack of sun on a one-way street I love the grime all the time And what more do I need? My window pane has a lovely view An inch of sky and a fly or two Why I can see half a tree And what more do I need? The dusk is thick and it's galling It simply can't be excused In winter even the falling snow looks Used My window pane may not give much light But I see you, so the view is bright If I can love you, I'll pay the dirt no heed With your love what more do I need? Someone shouting for quiet Someone starting a brawl Down the block there's a riot And I'll buy it all Listen now, I'm ecstatic Hold me close and be still Hear the lovely pneumatic Drill A subway train thunders through the Bronx A taxi horn on the corner honks But I adore every roar And what more do I need? I hear a crane making street repairs A two ton child running wild upstairs Steam pipes bang, sirens clang And what more do I need? The neighbors yell in the summer The landlord yells in the fall So loud I can't hear the plumber Pound the wall An aeroplane roars across the bay But I can hear you as clear as day You said you loved me Above the sound and speed With your love what more do I need?
