don't ever take the ribbons from your hair

don't ever take the ribbons from your hair

each tiny bow is tied with loving care

you're pretty as a picture and i love each precious curle

your mommy's little problem but your daddy's little girl

you'll never grow too old to wear your bows

they'll always match your little turned up nose

and even when you grow to be like mommy sweet and fair

don't ever take the ribbons from your hair

don't ever take the ribbons from your hair

and never lose that precious baby's stare

you're lighter than a feather when i bounce you on my knee

you're daddy's little angel and that's what you'll always be

those silken strands of ribbon match your eyes

they're bluer than the blue up in the skies

your daddy feels as wealthy as the richest millionaire

don't ever take the ribbons from your hair
