Rose Marie - Steve Forbert

What’s the wine like?

What’s the beer?

What a deluxe, uptown, gala quagmire

I thought you’d be here

What’s the wine like?

What’s the beer?

It’s a damp night up the lane

Don’t those lights on the lawn look left out

In the soft, summer rain?

It’s a damp night up the lane

Rose Marie, can you help me find clear skies?

Rose Marie, could I still shine in your eyes?

I’m a song bird, I’m a tune

I’ve been blue since

They paved Pittman Pond

But I’ll soar again soon

I’m a songbird, I’m a tune

Rose Marie, can you help me find clear skies?

Rose Marie, could I still shine in your eyes?

Eyes are like a window to the soul, they say

And they still say love is blind;

Anyway, I found you here

Way up in this atmosphere

Hangin' with the chandeliers

And so refined, -fined, girl

Could I hold you?

Could I still?

Yeah, your bare shoulders shine sweet and soft

But you might take a chill

Could I hold you?

Could I still?

Can I see you?

Can I soon?

Could we meet in that joint on the point

And look out for the moon?

Can I see you?

Can I soon?

Rose Marie, can you help me find clear skies?

Rose Marie, could I still shine in your eyes?

I dream of you, girl, with your dark, brown eyes
