Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
                   D7           G
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
                   G7          C
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
A               A7             D  D7
Hoping that you won't pass him by

           G            D7            G
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
                      D7            G  G7
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
       G            G7         C
In the distance the ringing of laughter
           G            D7          G
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

       G                        D
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
          D7               D            G
Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write I love you
