00:00Hello everyone. Is it as beautiful as I said? It's better. We'd like to do a song for you
00:23and I. It's not a carol and it's not a hymn, but if you listen closely to the words, we
00:35think that has everything that Christmas is. It's about the miracle of love.
01:05And for me, some scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for my hair.
01:24All the stores were locked and shuttered. The streets were dark and bare.
01:43In our town, though, scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair.
02:01Through the night, my heart was aching just before the dawn was breaking.
02:15I peeped in and on her bed, in gay profusion, lying there.
02:33Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair.
02:52If I live to be a hundred, I will never know from where
03:05came those lovely scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair.
03:35If I live to be a hundred, I will never know from where
03:55came those lovely scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair.
04:25Thanks Tom.
04:27Have a good night everyone.
