Rose Marie Lyrics - Singles - 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.
