The View From Here (Riverwalk) — Octavia Spencer & Will Ferrell Lyrics

The View From Here (Riverwalk) Song Lyrics

---

(Song)
[KIMBERLY]
The city is sparkling with twinkling lights
It's one of those magic, Manhattan-y nights
Can’t tell what comes next, he's sure takin' it slow
But he’s holding my hand and he's not letting go

He's goofy, he's tall
He's got a good heart
But I don't wanna fall
And have it all fall apart
I look in his eyes and they keep saying "Leap
And the net will appear!"
So why not dive in?
'Cause a brand new begin-
Ning feels long overdue
That's the view from here
That’s the view from here
(Spoken)
They said it’s supposed to snow tonight

[PRESENT]
Really? It doesn't feel cold enough

[KIMBERLY]
I’m not cold at all

(Song)
[PRESENT]
How wet are my armpits? How red is my face?
When I used to date, holding hands was third base
I think there's a spark. Could this thing become real?
Could it possibly be that she might feel like I feel?

This woman's as kind
As a human could be
So why would she wind
Up with someone like me?
And what if we find out in time
Maybe I'm that same jerk, like I fear?
’Cause the man that I see
Could so easily be
Just a Scrooge déjà vu
That's the view from here
That's the view from here

[A CAPELLA INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[KIMBERLY AND PRESENT]
Maybe I haven't lost sight
Of what's right
'Cause tonight it's so perfectly clear
Somehow I see
Who I could be
Just being with you
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
