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 streets
Busy feet
Hustle by here
Downtown shoppers
Christmas is nigh
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're 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

Ouh, ouh
Pretty paper
Pretty ribbons of blue
