Pretty Paper Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him Should you stop? better not, much too busy Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Roy Orbison
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Downtown shoppers, christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by
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
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
