"Waltz for Debby" is not a song by Al Jarreau, but rather a jazz standard composed by Bill Evans and Gene Lees. However, I can still help explain the meaning of the lyrics you provided for the song you mentioned in your previous question. The lyrics depict a young girl living in her own imaginary world, filled with dolls, clowns, a prince, and a big purple bear. In this world, she is oblivious to the worries and troubles of the grown-ups around her. The sun represents her joy and innocence as she dances to the music in her mind. The song acknowledges that one day, the girl will grow up and leave behind her dolls, prince, and bear. This realization brings sadness and tears to them as they say goodbye, and the narrator (presumably the singer) also expresses that they will miss her too. The second part of the lyrics seems unrelated to the first part and may be from a different song. It describes various playful and whimsical elements like earrings made of shoestrings, Barbie dolls with blue jeans, and a kitten wearing an apron. These images may further emphasize the childlike innocence and imagination of the girl in the song. Overall, the lyrics highlight the fleeting nature of childhood and the bittersweet emotions that come with the passing of time.
