[Doris Day - Scarlet Ribbons For Her Hair lyrics]
You know I peeked in to say goodnight
When I heard my child in prayer
She said, "And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the stores were closed and shuttered
And 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
And 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 a hundred
I will nevеr, never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair
Scarlet ribbons, there's magic in the air
Scarlet, scarlet ribbons for her hair
When I heard my child in prayer
She said, "And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the stores were closed and shuttered
And 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
And 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 a hundred
I will nevеr, never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair
Scarlet ribbons, there's magic in the air
Scarlet, scarlet ribbons for her hair
