Ribbons and Bows

There we all were in our ribbons and bows And nobody looked a bit out of place There we all were in our smart Sunday clothes Sitting up straight, with smiles on our faces I still remember the day that you left I thought the comment was only in jest But now looking back on that first day of April There wasn't a joke, there was only a fool We never spoke, I never would dare You were too cool and I was too scared But we're not the first generation who've found You're never remembered 'til you're in the ground There we all were in our ribbons and bows And nobody looked a bit out of place There we all were in our smart Sunday clothes Sitting up straight, with smiles on our faces We never spoke, I never would dare You were too cool and I was too scared But we're not the first generation who've found You're never remembered 'til you're in the ground I still remember the day that you left I thought the comment was only in jest But now looking back on that first day of April There wasn't a joke, there was only a fool There we all were in our ribbons and bows And nobody looked a bit out of place There we all were in our smart Sunday clothes Sitting up straight, with smiles on our faces There we all were in our ribbons and bows And nobody looked a bit out of place
