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 neigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass me by.
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You'd better hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter she 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
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, la prisa lo rodea
Compradores del centro, la Navidad está cerca
Allí él se sienta solo en la acera
Esperando que no pases de largo.
¿Deberías detenerte? Mejor no, muy ocupado
Sería mejor que te apresures, cómo vuela el tiempo
Y a lo lejos el sonido de risas
Y en medio de las risas ella 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
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...
