The Red In The Bow

Lyrics

Songs will be sung, and bells will be rung. They'll just be sounds that I know.
Gifts will be sold, and tales will be told, but none of the meaning will show.
Trees will be felled, and lights will be held as people go out in the snow.
And I'll deck the halls, but I know they all will feel empty without you to hold.
Red's just a color, green's just a dollar, and gold's just the pennies I throw.
Come back to me, baby I didn't see that you put the red in the bow.

Boots will be worn, and houses adorned, and I'll wear a smile, I suppose.
Fires will be made and candles displayed, but nothing will have the same glow.
Smiles appearing, and couples, endearing, as people rejoice high and low.
And I'll be as happy as any fool can be who had love and then let it go.
Red's just a color, green's just a dollar, and gold's just the pennies I throw.
Come back to me, baby I didn't see that you put the red in the bow.

Drinks will be had, and folks will be glad, and I'll think of you, every toast.
The love will there, but mine will be where my love is, until he comes home.
Red's just a color, green's just a dollar, and gold's just the pennies I throw.
Come back to me, baby I didn't see that you put the red in the bow.
Come back to me, baby I didn't see that you put the red in the bow.
