Steve Forbert - Rose Marie lyrics

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
