WALTZ FOR DEBBIE Bill Evans (m) Gene Lees (l) 1960 as rec by Johnny Hartman Sep 22nd 1964 New Jersey also rec by- Bill Evans w Scott Lafaro & Paul Motian '61 Tony Bennett '64 Tony Bennett w Bill Evans '75 In her own sweet world, Populated by dolls and clowns and a prince and a big purple bear, Lives my favourite girl, Unaware of the worried frowns that we weary grownups all wear. In the sun, She dances to silent music; Songs that are spun Of gold somewhere in her own little head. One day, all too soon, She'll grow up and she'll leave her dolls and her prince and her silly old bear; When she goes they'll cry As they whisper goodbye, They will miss her I fear, but then so will I! One day, all too soon, She'll grow up and she'll leave her dolls and her prince and her silly old bear; When she goes they will cry As they whisper goodbye, They will miss her I fear, but then so will I! When she goes they will cry As they whisper goodbye, They will miss her I know, but then so will I!
