Lyrics
Dee Dee ©1995 John Gahl
I know you see through me sometimes, like a window on a sunny day.
Like the cellophane around a pack of cigarettes,
You say, "hey, please don?t be that way."
I fill the sink with all my dishes, cups and saucers, knives and forks and spoons,
The radio is set between two stations, can?t understand the words,
Can?t make out the tune.
Refrain:
Dee Dee Dee Dee
Dee Dee, how I love your name
Dee Dee Dee Dee
Have I ever told you, how much I love your name.
Time is a river, if you let it be.... it can spirit you away.
Out to where the grass is green as a ball park on TV,
And a lifetime... lasts all day
On the whole, I got a half a mind, to take a local out of town.
Stop after stop, a chance to change your mind
Best way to get somewhere sometimes
Is to turn around.
Refrain
