Just picture a penthouse
|
Way up in the sky
|
With hinges on chimneys
|
For stars to go by
|
A slice of Heaven
|
For just you and I
|
When we're alone
|
|
From all of society
|
We'll stay aloof
|
And live in propriety
|
There on the roof
|
To Heaven, we hermits
|
We will be in truth
|
When we're alone
|
|
We'll see life's mad pattern
|
As we view Manhattan
|
Then we can thank our lucky stars
|
That we're living as we are
|
|
In our little penthouse
|
We'll always contrive
|
To keep love and romance
|
Forever alive
|
In view of the Hudson
|
Just over the drive
|
When we're alone
|
|
Sunsets in the village
|
Paintings left unfinished
|
Twinkling lights in Central Park
|
Love is waiting for the dark
|
|
In our little penthouse
|
On top of the town
|
Each evening we'll stargaze
|
We'll never look down
|
The Heavens are our rooftop
|
A shimmering crown
|
When we're alone
|
|
Just you
|
Just me
|
We'll live in harmony
|
Enjoying each moment
|
The rest of our lives
|
When we're alone
|
