Room Five-Hundred-and-Four - 1941

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Sept 2001

Such a big hotel, a very grand one,
right upon the Avenue;
we could not afford it
but sweet, I just adored it,
my very first and only rendezvous.

In Room FiveHundredandFour
so sweet a room, so strange and new,
it was romance, a dream come true;
that perfect honeymoon alone with you,
in Room FiveHundredandFour!
We turned the key in the door,
we hadn't dared to ask the price,
that kind of thrill can't happen twice
and who could bargain over Paradise
in Room FiveHundredandFour?
The lovely night, the starlight above
the sleeping Town below
and in the dark, you said,
my love, the dearest things I know!
We don't live there any more
but still in mem'ry I adore
the sweetest room I ever saw
a Seventh Heaven on the old fifth floor
Our 'Room FiveHundredandFour!'
