You're not a dream
You're not an Angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen
I'm a woman
Take my hand

We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
Yes we're different
worlds apart
we're not the same
We laughed and played
at the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came and here you'll stay
until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me....
Love me now.....
This love of mine
Had no beginning it had no end
I was an oak now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go...Pretty Paper

Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 15 in 1963)
Words and Music by Willie Nelson


(The 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”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won’t pass him by

Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
You’re in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

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
