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
