Pretty Paper

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 street busy feet hustle by him

Downtown shoppers Christmas is nigh

There he sits all alone on the sidewalk

He's just hoping he won't pass him by



Should I stop?

Better not much too busy

I'm in a 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
