Romeo's Tune

CAPO SECOND FRET
Meet me in the middle of the day –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
Bring me southern kisses from your room.
Meet me in the middle of the night –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
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 ca-a-a-are! That’s right, now!
Meet me in the middle of the day –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
Come on out beneath the shining sun.
Meet me in the middle of the night –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run! Yeah!
Oh, yeah, yeah!
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 after thoughts and complicated scenes.
We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines!
Ah-yaya-yay! I ******* to go now!
Meet me in the middle of the day –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
Bring me southern kisses from your room. Hey, hey!
Meet me in the middle of the night –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
Let me smell the moon in your perfume. Aw, now!
Meet me in the middle of the day –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
Let me see you smiling back at me. He-e-ey!
Meet me in the middle of the night –
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
Hold me tight. In loving, love is free.
Ow, hey!
O K !
