Romeo's Tune - Steve Forbert

Meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything’s okay

Bring me southern kisses from your room

Meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything’s alright

Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Oh, gods and years will rise and fall

And there’s always something more

Lost in talk, I waste my time

And it’s all been said before

While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there

I don’t ask for all that much I just want someone to care

That’s right now

Meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything’s okay

Come on out beneath the shining sun

Meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything’s alright

Sneak on out beneath the stars and run

It’s king and queen and we must go down now beyond the chandelier

Where I won’t have to speak my mind and you won’t have to hear

Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes

We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines

So meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything’s okay

Bring me southern kisses from your room

Ooh baby

Hey hey, meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything’s alright

Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Oh yea, meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you everything’s okay

Let me see you smiling back at me

Oh yea, meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything’s alright

Hold me tight and love and loving’s free

So meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything’s okay

Bring me southern kisses from your room

Oh sweet baby
