A Room Without Windows
Steve Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A room where no guy but I can spy the charms that are yours
Like being marooned on a island far from civilized shores
You and me in a room without windows, a room without doors
No bells will be ringing, no telephone calls
In our little well-secluded cell of ceiling and walls
While dozens of males sit 'n' chew their nails and hate me because
If they said "Friend, how would you like to spend the long hereafter?"
I'd tell them what we're after is a one-way ticket to
A room without keyholes, a room with no view
We'd like to reside there, hide there for an era or two
Completely wrapped up in each other while the whole world ignores
You and me in a room without windows, a room without doors
If they said "Friend, how would you like to spend the long hereafter?"
I'd tell them what we're after is a one-way ticket to
A room without keyholes, a room with no view
We'd like to reside there, hide there for an era or two
Completely wrapped up in each other while the whole world ignores
You and me in a room without windows
A room without windows
A room without windows
A room without doors
The lyrics of Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme's "Room Without Windows" paint a vivid picture of a couple who desire complete privacy and seclusion from the world. They wish to be in a room with no windows, no doors, and no keyholes where no one can intrude and disturb their intimate moments. The song reflects the deep passion and love between the couple, which they wish to express without the fear of being judged or watched.
The song portrays the room as a safe-haven for the couple, a paradise where their love can flourish away from the distractions of the outside world. The mention of the absence of bells ringing or telephone calls suggests that the room could be a place where they can disconnect from the world's demands and focus on each other. The lyrics suggest that the couple desires to remain in the room without any interruptions, and they would like to spend all eternity there.
The line, "dozens of males sit 'n' chew their nails and hate me because I am yours," is a testament to the intensity of the relationship between the couple. They seem to be the envy of other men who envy the level of intimacy and connectedness they share. Overall, the song reflects the deep love and desire for complete privacy between two people in a relationship.

A room without windows, a room without doors
A secluded place where no one can intrude or gaze upon us
A room where no guy but I can spy the charms that are yours
A private space where only I can appreciate and adore your beauty
Like being marooned on an island far from civilized shores
An escape from the chaos of the world to a remote and tranquil place
You and me in a room without windows, a room without doors
A romantic hideaway only for us, with no way in or out
No bells will be ringing, no telephone calls
A place of complete serenity, free from any interruptions or distractions
In our little well-secluded cell of ceiling and walls
A tiny, isolated space where we can be alone and intimate
While dozens of males sit 'n' chew their nails and hate me because
Jealous men wishing they could be in my place but unable to enter our private space
I am yours in a room without windows, a room without doors
Exclusive ownership of each other in a place inaccessible to others
If they said "Friend, how would you like to spend the long hereafter?"
If asked how we want to spend eternity
I'd tell them what we're after is a one-way ticket to
Our desire to be together in a place free from the outside world is so strong that we want it to last forever
A room without keyholes, a room with no view
A completely private space with no possibility of being observed or interrupted from outside
We'd like to reside there, hide there for an era or two
Our wish to stay in this private place for a very long time
Completely wrapped up in each other while the whole world ignores
Our desire to be completely focused on each other without external distractions or interference
You and me in a room without windows, a room without doors
The chorus repeats the idea of a completely secluded and private space for us alone
