Steve Forbert Romeo's Tune
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
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
Oh, yeah
Oh yeah yes
(instrumental)
It’s king for 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
Will weather down behind the light
and fade like magazines
Meet me in the middle of the day
let me hear you say everything’s okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
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
Meet me in the middle of the day
let me hear you say everything’s okay
Let me see you smiling back at me
Hey meet me in the middle of the night
let me hear you say everything’s alright
Hold me tight and lovin’, love is free
Okay
