Pretty Paper
Willie Nelson
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
