YELLOW RIBBON

Little Bob he still remembers that day
The day he held his daddy's hand
He had tears in his eyes cos' daddy's going away
He's off to another land

He had a smiling face as he said goodbye
As he waved his yellow band
He didn't want his dad to see him cry ~ so
He pretended it was sand

Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree
Bobby there all alone
Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree
Daddy please come home

Another year another Christmas tree
But the presents they're all the same
You see it doesn't matter what the presents will be ~ cos
His daddy ~ he never came

Bob won't forget daddy leaving that day
And waving him goodbye
And when he goes to bed he starts to pray
That his Daddy never saw him cry

Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree
Bobby there all alone
Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree
Daddy please come home

Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree
Reminds us where they are
Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree
Holds daddy's Silver Star

And the sign read
Do not these blossoms pluck
But they went just the same
For the wind cannot read
