Debbie Grace Henry

When you walked into the room I knew you were for me
You whispered quietly lady will you dance with me
I’d be a fool to send you on for I’d been lonely for so long
And the band was playing such a lovely melody

You’re too good to be true
Any moment now I might just start a lovin’ you
You’re too good so it seems
Don’t anybody wake me from this sweetest dream.

We waltzed across the floor until the morning light
I asked you lady would you dine with me tonight
In perfect time two hearts were beating happily
As we were swaying softly to that lovely melody

You’re too good to be true
Any moment now I might just start a lovin’ you
You’re too good so it seems
Don’t anybody wake me from this sweetest dream.

I wish you’d been around for me when times were hard
(times were hard)
To soothe me with your touch oh hold me in your arms
You’re too good to be true
Any moment now I might just start a lovin’ you

You’re too good so it seems
Don’t anybody wake me from this sweetest dream
Don’t anybody wake me from this sweetest dream.

Why can’t you love me like you used to ~ some say you’ve found somebody new
Please don’t keep me standing in the dark
I need to know you’re love for me is true.

For I believe ~ in honesty
I believe ~ in dreams
I believe that true love’s magic ~ never leaves.

Why don’t you hold me like you used to ~ like back when we were seventeen?
Too many wrongs have come between us
But strength is built on life and what we’ve seen.

For I believe ~ in honesty
I believe ~ in dreams
I believe that true love’s magic ~ never leaves.

If you were down and out or ever hungry
I’d pick you up and take you home with me
In troubled times my love ~ I’ve never doubted
That everything to me you’d always be.

For I believe ~ in honesty
I believe ~ in dreams
I believe that true love’s magic ~ never leaves
Yes I believe that true love’s magic ~ never leaves.

I need to see you just one more time
Your arms to feel me just one more time
My heart is aching for your gentle touch
I need to hear you my love ~ sayin’

I ~~~~ miss you so
I’ll ~~~~ never let you go again
Oh my darlin’ where have you been?

The world around us can be so unkind
These foolish games ~ all wasted time
Seems like a lifetime that we’ve been apart
I need to hear you my love ~ sayin’

I ~~~~ miss you so
I’ll ~~~~ never let you go again
Oh my darlin’ where have you been?

It’s not as easy as they say
Mind over matter’s not the way
Waiting for new love to begin
Nothing can take away the feelings within.

‘cause I ~~~~ miss you so
I’ll ~~~~ never let you go again
Oh my darlin’ where have you been?

I need to see you just one more time
Your arms to feel me just one more time.

There’s always a smile when you see me around
I got a guy with his two feet on the ground
Lucky in love they say and there’s no doubt
Well Daddy always told me girl, if you get a good man to spoil ye so don’t throw him away ‘cause there ‘aint so many about
So stop tellin’ me what I already know, I’m crazy but I’ll never let him go.

I got the guy who keeps me warm at night
Lovin’ me up ‘till I’m feelin’ alright
Praisin’ me up when I’m feelin’ down and out
Well other girls they envy me ‘cause I got a man who’s good to me
Yes it’s true he’s not an ordinary guy.

They’re tellin’ me what I already know, I’m crazy but I’ll never let him go
Whoa do do do do do do do do ………………………

I love the flowers that he brings, when he come to watch me sing
Down at the North Star, on a Saturday night
His sweet lips are for my desire
Don’t need a match, ‘cause he’s my fire
I’m scared of the dark, and he’s my light.

So stop tellin’ me what I already know, I’m crazy but I’ll never let him go
Whoa do do do do do do do do ………………………

Well other girls they envy me ‘cause I got a man who’s good to me
Yes it’s true he’s not an ordinary guy.

He sits waiting patiently for the woman of his dreams to come on home
He thinks about the past and wonders where on earth did he ever go wrong
In a little country town they met beneath the flowing beads of Attie Falls
They’d lived there all their lives and never seen the sight(s) of city lights at all.

At seventeen they wed and managed easily the local corner store
They moved to Adelaide to find the disillusioned life of having more
They’d forgotten who they really were ~ all innocence was crushed by life preferred
Plastic conversation ~ Mercedes Sports ~ reality deterred
The tempting apparitions of success amongst the mighty corporate world
He realized mistakes he’d made ~ but returned home without his darlin’ girl.

He came back to Cardwell to that kinda’ laid back place where he belonged
Fishing off the jetty ~ line dancing ~ drinking beer and country songs
Many times he’d womanise but missed that pretty baby that he’d wed
While in company of other lady friends he wished that they were her instead.

Every day an old grey bearded man sits at the station just on dawn
He can’t explain the emptiness he feels and blames himself that she is gone
Hopes one day she’ll forgive him and prays that she’ll be boarding that old train
‘Cause she’s everything to him and he’ll do anything so she don’t leave him again.

One dark night she reaches out and gently strokes his ever-trembling hands
He clutches her within his arms in disbelief that she is really there
There’s no call for forgiveness ~ she knows her past he’ll surely understand
Though many friendships she had tried ~ never once did she stop loving this man
Though many friendships she had tried ~ never once did she stop loving this man.
