Scarlet Ribbons
Unveiling the Enchanting Tale of Scarlet Ribbons
Lyrics
You know I peeked in to say goodnight,
The speaker looked in to say goodnight.
When I heard my child in prayer.
He overheard his child praying.
She said, "And for me some scarlet ribbons,
The child asked for some red ribbons.
Scarlet ribbons for my hair."
Specifically, she wanted red ribbons for her hair.
All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All shops were closed, and the streets were empty.
And all the streets were dark and bare.
The town was completely quiet and deserted.
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
No red ribbons were available in the town.
Not one ribbon for her hair.
There were no ribbons at all for the child's hair.
Through the night my heart was aching.
The speaker felt emotional distress throughout the night.
And just before the dawn was breaking,
Just before sunrise,
I peeked in and on her bed,
The speaker checked on the child in her bed.
In gay profusion lying there,
There were many red ribbons on her bed in a cheerful display.
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons.
The ribbons were beautiful and specifically red.
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.
These red ribbons were for the child's hair.
If I live to be a hundred,
The speaker expresses a sense of wonderment.
I will never, never know from where,
Even if he lives a long life, he won't know where the ribbons came from.
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
The mysterious origin of the red ribbons.
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
Specifically, red ribbons for the child's hair.
Scarlet ribbons, there's magic in the air.
There's a sense of enchantment or something mystical about the red ribbons.
Scarlet, scarlet ribbons for her hair.
Reiterating the mention of red ribbons for the child's hair.
