Her
Vincent Lyrics

I peeked in to say goodnight
Vincent was checking on his child before she went to bed.

When I heard my child in prayer
Vincent overheard his child praying before she went to bed.

And for me some scarlet ribbons
Vincent's child wanted to give him scarlet ribbons.

Scarlet ribbons for my hair
The ribbons were meant for Vincent to wear in his hair.

All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the stores in their town were closed for the night.

All the streets were dark and bare
The town was empty and quiet.

In our town, no scarlet ribbons
There were no scarlet ribbons available in their town.

Not one ribbon for her hair
Vincent's child had wanted the ribbons for herself.

Through the night my heart was aching
Vincent was feeling sad all night.

And just before the dawn was breaking
Vincent was still awake when the sun was about to rise.

I peeked in and on her bed
Vincent went to check on his child again.

In gay profusion lying there
He saw a beautiful display of ribbons on his child's bed.

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
The ribbons were very beautiful and were in fact scarlet.

Scarlet ribbons for her hair
The ribbons were actually meant for Vincent's child.

If I live to be a hundred
Vincent thinks he will never forget this experience.

I will never know from where
Vincent doesn't know where the ribbons came from.

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Vincent is amazed by the beautiful ribbons.

Scarlet ribbons for her hair
The ribbons were meant for Vincent's child all along.
