the ice hotel
Lets you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
The Carribeans all booked out
And thats just as well
Once Id have been much keener
On Barbados or Antigua
But just now I think the arctic will suit us well
Lets you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
Theyve built it all with ice thats pure and clear
The sofas, the lobby
Even the chandelier
A thermostat guarantees A steady minus five degrees
What other place could serve our needs so well
Lets you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
Romantic places
Like Verona or Paris
Theyll always lead you astray
Youd have to be a novice
To ever trust Venice
And those dreamy waterways
And what the tropics can do
I know only too well
So, lets you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
Heavy clothing at all times
Is the expected norm
Even candlelight at dinner
Is considered too dangerously warm
And when the time comes for us to sleep
Well spread out our reindeer fleece
And curl up together
On an ice block carved for two
But then in the morning
Provided weve made it through …
Well step out together
To watch the sun rise over
That vast expanse of cold
And who knows if were lucky
We may find ourselves talking
Of what our future may hold
This is no whim of the moment
I want you to realize
Lets go away to that palace made of ice
Lets you and me go away to the ice hotel
The Bahamas are all booked out
And thats just as well
I dont think were quite ready
For Hawaii of Tahiti
And when we will be
Only time will tell
Lets you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
