Dave Horvath - Ribbons and Bows Lyrics

There we all were in our ribbons and bows
And nobody looked a bit out of place
There we all were in our smart Sunday clothes
Sitting up straight, with smiles on our faces

I still remember the day that you left
I thought the comment was only in jest
But now looking back on that first day of April
There wasn't a joke, there was only a fool

We never spoke, I never would dare
You were too cool and I was too scared
But we're not the first generation who've found
You're never remembered 'til you're in the ground

There we all were in our ribbons and bows
And nobody looked a bit out of place
There we all were in our smart Sunday clothes
Sitting up straight, with smiles on our faces

We never spoke, I never would dare
You were too cool and I was too scared
But we're not the first generation who've found
You're never remembered 'til you're in the ground

I still remember the day that you left
I thought the comment was only in jest
But now looking back on that first day of April
There wasn't a joke, there was only a fool

There we all were in our ribbons and bows
And nobody looked a bit out of place
There we all were in our smart Sunday clothes
Sitting up straight, with smiles on our faces

There we all were in our ribbons and bows
And nobody looked a bit out of place
