ribbons down my back

i'll be wearing ribbons down my back this summer

blue & 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 gentleman'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

shining in my hair

that he might notice me!
