Stacey Kent The Ice Hotel lyrics

Stacey Kent
Breakfast on the Morning Tram
The Ice Hotel
Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel 　
The Carribean's all booked out 　
And that's just as well 　
Once I'd have been much keener 　
On Barbados or Antigua 　
But just now I think the arctic will suit us well 　
Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel 　

They've built it all with ice that's 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 　
Let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel 　
Romantic places 　
Like Verona or Paris 　
They'll always lead you astray 　
You'd 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, let's 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 　
We'll spread out our reindeer fleece 　
And curl up together 　
On an ice block carved for two
But then in the morning 　
Provided we've made it through …
We'll step out together 　
To watch the sun rise over 　
That vast expanse of cold 　
And who knows if we're lucky 　
We may find ourselves talking 　
Of what future may hold 　
This is no whim of the moment
I want you to realize 　
Let's go away to that palace made of ice 　

Let's you and me go away to the ice hotel 　
The Bahamas are all booked out 　
And that's just as well 　
I don't think we're quite ready 　
For Hawaii of Tahiti 　
And we will be 　
Only time will tell 　
Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
