Look out your window, darling.
There's a whole world sitting there just for you.
Can't you see it?
If only you'd turn away,
Turn away my darling!
Turn away from that book you've buried your head in!
If you'd just listen!
Hear what I say!
Do it my way, darling!
Oh my darling, why won't you look?
For heavens' sake! Don't repeat my mistake,
for I never did gaze upon the world.
I buried my head in that book,
I buried my thoughts in that music,
I buried my heart in the boy.
Years have flown by,
I have lived safely,
but I have stayed within confinement!
These four walls!
All white and dreary, my darling!
Can't you see the trees billowing outside?
Life is too short, darling!
Please, take a wander down the jostling street.
At least look out your window!
Look out your window, darling.
The sun is coming up.
Can't you see it?
The sort of thing my grandmother used to say, I'm sure you've heard it before from someone.
