Al Jarreau - Waltz For Debby lyrics

rate me

In her own sweet world

Populated by dolls and clowns

And a prince and a big purple bear

Lives my favorite girl.

Unaware of the worried frowns

That we weary grown-ups all wear.

In the sun she dances

To silent music-songs

That are spun of gold

Somewhere in her own little head

Then one day all too soon

She’ll grow up & she’ll leave her doll

And her prince & her silly old bear.

When she goes they will cry

As they whisper good-bye

They will miss her I know

but then so will I.

Earrings made of shoestrings

Barbie dolls with blue jeans

Makin' cross eyes

Shakes me when I'm sleepin'

Did you ever see

A kitten with an apron on

Stop 'n start his stereo

When she knows her brothers down the hall runnin' 'round and skippin'

'round

Because she's so,

She's so inspired

Then she's tired

Please put me jammies on

Daddy look at the rain

Can I go and play in the rain

In the sun she dances

To silent music-songs

That are spun of gold

Somewhere in her own little head

Then one day all too soon

She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll

And her prince & her silly old bear

When she goes they will cry

As they whisper good-bye

They will miss her I know

But then so will I.
