Paper and ribbon, candles glow in window panes Snow drifts on rooftops, up and down the lanes School children laughing, there's magic in the air And paper and ribbon, seem to be everywhere Ice skates and snow flakes and lights around the trees Sending cards to loved ones we never get to see Paper and ribbon, the town's wrapped up in glee Counting down the days until it's Christmas eve People coming home now, to stockings hung with care And paper and ribbon, seem to be everywhere Ice skates and snow flakes and lights around the trees Sending cards to loved ones we never get to see Paper and ribbon, candles glow in window panes Snow drifts on rooftops, up and down the lanes School children laughing, there's magic in the air And paper and ribbon, seem to be everywhere School children laughing, there's magic in the air And paper and ribbon That holiday rhythm Paper and ribbon seem to be everywhere
