I've got a view of Boston From the twenty-second floor The moon is red Room service is at the door I've got songs to sing And a million things To distract me when I'm blue But I don't have you I've got rolls and rolls of snapshots From thirty-seven states I've memorized the slogans On all the license plates Oh I've seen the sights And the neon lights But I can't enjoy the view When I don't have you I close my eyes, I see your face Staring out the window of a taxi in the rain I don't know when the road will end Or how long I will have to wait To be with you again There's a waiter making eyes at me Perhaps he'd take me home But I know in a stranger's arms I'd just feel more alone Oh I've got the chance For a quick romance In the lives that I pa** through But I don't have you
