Lyrics Just a Ribbon - Nana Mouskouri

Just a Ribbon

He gave to me a silver ring
To wear upon my hand
But I turned away
And he heard me saying
«Oh!He doesn’t, he doesn’t understand»
I don’t need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
He gave me two golden hearts
To wear upon my ears
But I turned from him
So he could not see
My eyes, my eyes were filled with tears
He tought I was unhappy
But he could not fight no more
So he bought me just a ribbon
For a penny at the store
He bought me just a ribbon blue
To wear in my hair
Then I pressed my lips
To his fingerstips
Saying «Now, now I know you care
I don’t need riches to make me care
