"Debra Dreams" lyrics

You smiled at me across the room
And I felt my heart caving in
When fantasy was all I knew
It's inconceivable that I'd be real to you

Well, I still have the keychain that you gave me in the hall
Now 20 years have passed and you still love me after all
Well, I'll let you take my picture if you still come dance with me
While my heart beats with Debra dreams

Your gentle voice made me less scared
You held me tight and I felt strong
I never felt like I belonged
Until your love pulled me aside just like your hair

Well, I kept every photograph and still sing all our songs
I hope you get the picture that I've loved you all along
Well, this must be more than chemical
The mythical is far too dull for me and Debra dreams

I never knew how hard I'd fall
Through Summer's cold I found my spring
So every time you see that ring
Just know my heart spins on your string like tetherball

For 20 years I've loved you and I will forever more
Ever since my future had come knocking at my door
Well, I wrote this song to let you know
My heart's in Preston, Idaho and beats for Debra dreams
