Do you think that we could risk an evening at the Ritz!
Another shabby hotel room would really blitz my ego
Why must we meet like this! Sharing illicit kisses
You turn a blind eye to the fact
that your leaving my heart in pieces

I know a little cafe noir where we can sit and count the stars
We can stay till the early hours
supposing of course they allow us
And when they play "As Time Goes By" memories
seem to hide here
And while the world is deep in slumber
we'll dance the the eternal rumba

Won't you come away with me
Leave it all behind
There's a happy ending somewhere
between the lines

What more can you ask of me
yet another Penthouse suite!
Going through my dimes and quarters
slipping away like water
So through her expensive tastes
your pockets have gone to waste
And I can tell by the way you lie there
you're only a paper tiger

No more early mornings as I gaze in Your eyes
No more hidden kisses and sleepy lullabies

I'm constantly aware of the things we can never share
At the stork club some chic little pub
that I could never afford
But I wish that I could bare your ultra feminine flair
For your accent on current events over dinner
drives me spare

Dinner at the Ritz, I'd be pleased to make an appointment
I'll be at your door an hour before we arranged
(Repeated)
