Scarlet Ribbons lyrics
Song information
Artist: Perry Como Album: When You Come To The End Of The Day
Lyrics
I peeked in to say goodnight And then I heard my child in prayer: "And for me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair . . ."
All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare . . In our town, no scarlet ribbons Not one ribbon for her hair . .
Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I peeked in and on her bed In gay profusion lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair . .
If I live to be two hundred I will never know from where Came those lovely scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!
