I'll be wearing ribbons down my back this summer Blue and green and streaming in the yellow sky So if someone special comes my way this summer He might notice me passing by And so I'll try to make it easier to find me In the stillness of July Because a breeze might stir a rainbow up behind me That might happen to catch the gentlemen's eye And he might smile and take me by the hand this summer Making me recall how lovely love can be And so I will proudly wear ribbons down my back Shinning in my hair That he might notice me
