Lyrics Scarlet Ribbons - Helen Merrill
I
peeked
in
to
say
good-night
And
there
I
heard
my
child
in
prayer
"And
for
me,
some
scarlet
ribbons
Scarlet
ribbons
for
my
hair"
All
our
town
was
closed
and
shuttered
All
the
streets
were
dark
and
bare
In
our
town,
no
scarlet
ribbons
Scarlet
ribbons
for
her
hair
Through
the
night
my
heart
was
aching
Just
before
the
dawn
was
breaking
In
our
town,
no
scarlet
ribbons
Scarlet
ribbons
for
her
hair
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
never
know
from
where
Came
those
lovely
scarlet
ribbons
Scarlet
ribbons
for
her
hair
