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 blueCrowded 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 byShould 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 criesPretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write 'I love you'
