Lyrics:
Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon in the sky for our love
The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils
I peeked in to say goodnight
When I heard my child in prayer
And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed
The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils
to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
She's trying to make it in her
There's a lot of things
Girl, you could buy for me
But they wouldn't mean as much
As you standing by that tree
Just put a ribbon in your hair
Darlin'
you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true, but I'll try
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had
(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils
(I peeped in to say good night
When I heard my child in prayer
"Send me, God, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair")
All the stores
I peeked in to say goodnight and I heard my child in prayer
Send for me some scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed
you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true, but I'll try
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had
There's no place that I'd rather be than right here
With my red necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer
The barmaid is mad 'cause some guy made
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write, "I love you"
Oh, oh, pretty paper,
Don't ever take the ribbons from your hair
Each tiny bow is tied with loving care
You're pretty as a picture and I love each precious curl
Your
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my
just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me
Ohhhh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still
Ages ago I met a ghost flying across the sea
Lost in a rhyme, rhythm sublime
Do gods really speak?
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices strong
Wave
Ribbons
by Tim Pepper
Verse 1
There's a crowd of people cloudin' up my dreams,
Everyone tieing ribbons 'round my heart.
I'm remembering the folks
time ain't endless I gotta go get it
Life be a gift but it don't come with ribbons
My time ain't endless I gotta go get it
Life be a gift but it don't
You brighten up my life
You fool around with me
You're proud of me even in my worst states
And I simply love you for all of that
There's a ribbon in
Still wishing
Yeah we on a mission it's a wrap no ribbon (Yeah)
Cold like mittens (Yeah we cold)
Said that you loved me but I didn't (Nah I didn't)
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds are gathering over my
I peeked in to say goodnight
When I heard my child in prayer
And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed
I peeked in to say goodnight
When I heard my child in prayer
And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed
