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

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

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
