It was our first encounter, when you gave me
A red, red ribbon
Scarlet, it fits you so much, you said,
And put it in my hands
It was my 12th birthday, when you gave me
A red, red ribbon
Figured you might need another, you said,
And attach it to my bangs
It was your confession, when you gave me
A red, red ribbon
You like red, so here's another, you said,
And tie it on my hair
It was our first date, when you gave me
A red, red ribbon
They say fourth the charm, you said,
And wrap it around my bracelet
It was my last day, when you gave me
A red, red ribbon
You said nothing, nothing at all,
And tie it on a balloon
And let it fly away
Into the red, red sky
