| Hang out the streamers, bring out the wine,
|
| Crack open the bottle, ‘cause, baby, you’re mine.
|
| There’s bunting on the staircase and ribbons in the hall
|
| Some have a half measure, but I’ve got it all.
|
| Let yours be the last face I see every night,
|
| Soft grows the roaster, the dawn clings so bright.
|
| When the stars are all staggering home and the light
|
| You’re the string baby and I am the guide.
|
| Hang out the streamers, bring out the wine
|
| Crack open the bottle, ‘cause, baby, you’re mine.
|
| There’s bunting on the staircase and ribbons in the hall
|
| Some have a half measure, but I’ve got it all.
|
| Let your be the only hand that I hold,
|
| To have me, to hold me until I grow old.
|
| May your eyes be wide open and our hearts never cold
|
| I’m the lost sheep and you are the fault.
|
| May I still read your face when my eyes lack the luster,
|
| In the warmth of the bed, in the cold winds that bluster.
|
| May the dust of sweet blessings rain on you tonight,
|
| I’m string baby and you are the guide. |
