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
He's just hoping he won't pass him by
Should I stop? Better not, much too busy
I'm 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
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Bonito papel
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Envuelve tus regalos para tu amor de parte tuya
Bonitos lápices para escribir 'te amo'
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Calles abarrotadas, pies ocupados pasan a su lado
Compradores del centro, la Navidad está cerca
Allí él se sienta solo en la acera
Solo espera que no lo ignoren
¿Debería detenerme? Mejor no, estoy muy ocupado
Tengo prisa, ¡cómo vuela el tiempo!
Y a lo lejos suena la risa
Y en medio de la risa él llora
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Envuelve tus regalos para tu amor de parte tuya
Bonitos lápices para escribir 'te amo'
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
