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 our 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 when we will be

Only time will tell

Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
