Lyrics
Happy Birthday
Debbie's coming home today
She's running late now
When will she ever learn
It's reality
The wind chimes
A year goes by and then
It's her birthday
A very happy birthday
It's a happy birthday again
Once the princess in this town
Now she's lost the title
But she's still clinging to her crown
That's reality
The school girls walk by
Their beauty mocks her jealous eyes
It's her birthday
A very happy birthday
It's a happy birthday again
And into the sky her dreams fade away
And into the sky her screams resonate
Debbie's coming home today
She's a little older
Time never loosens its reign
It's reality
And the wind chimes
A year goes by then ten
It's her birthday
A very happy birthday
It's a happy birthday again
( repeat x 3)
