Pretty Paper
Lonely Dreams on Pretty Paper: A Christmas Tale
Lyrics
The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
The decorative wrapping, adorned with blue ribbons.
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Reiteration of the visual appeal of the wrapping materials.
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Suggesting the act of gift wrapping for a loved one.
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Highlighting the use of beautiful pencils for expressing affection.
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Repeating the emphasis on the attractive wrapping components.
Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Depicting a busy and lively street with people passing by.
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
Observing the bustling atmosphere of downtown during the Christmas season.
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Introducing a solitary figure sitting on the sidewalk.
Hoping that you won't pass him by
Expressing hope that the passerby won't ignore or overlook him.
Should you stop, better not, much too busy
Advising against stopping due to the busyness of the season.
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
Highlighting the fast-paced nature of the holiday rush.
In the distance the ringing of laughter
Noting the distant sounds of joy and merriment.
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Contrasting the laughter with the loneliness and sorrow of the man on the sidewalk.
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Reiterating the imagery of beautiful wrapping materials.
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Encouraging the act of gifting wrapped presents to a beloved person.
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Emphasizing the use of lovely pencils for expressing affectionate sentiments.
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Repeating the visual and emotional elements of the wrapping materials.
