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 pass through

But I don't have you
