Dolly Parton
Pretty Paper
[Intro: Choir]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Verse 1: Dolly Parton with Willie Nelson]
Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
And there he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton with Willie Nelson]
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my, how time flies
And in the distance; the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter, he cries

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Both]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils (Pretty pencils) to write "I love you"
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
[Outro: Dolly Parton & Willie Nelson]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
