Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
|
Wrap your presents to your darling from you |
|
Pretty pencils to write |
|
I love you |
|
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
|
Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him |
|
Downtown shoppers, |
|
Christmas is nigh |
|
And there he sits all alone on the sidewalk |
|
Hoping that you won't pass him by |
|
Should you stop? |
|
Better not, much too busy |
|
You better hurry, my how time does fly |
|
And in the distance the ringing of laughter |
|
And in the midst of the laughter he cries |
|
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
|
Wrap your presents to your darling from you |
|
Pretty pencils to write |
|
I love you |
|
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
|
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
|
Wrap your presents to your darling from you |
|
Pretty pencils to write |
|
I love you |
|
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
|
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
