Rossum, Emmy - Pretty Paper Lyrics






(Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Rossum, Emmy Pretty Paper Comments
  1. J.... H....

    This is friggin beautiful.

  2. I.... D....

    Fiona tho

  3. S.... T....

    Girl WTF?!?!?! I did not know. Ayyyye who knew Fiona got pipes!!!! 💋😌❤🌠

  4. v.... D....

    so true like why is Taylor swift always on the charts like what about her

  5. T.... A....

    my eyes filled with tears from this. im just now finding out emmy is a singer.

  6. n.... d....

    Grand talant ! jolie , douce ..... si elle n'est pas connue c'est surement à cause de bon impresario! Bonne chance Emmy !

  7. D.... W....

    This song no matter who sings it you dont hear it much on the radio during the holidays

  8. J.... M....

    Beautiful voice, I've never heard of her but she renders this song beautifully.

    I wonder how many listen to this song and miss the message. Here in the season where people are celebrating Christ and family this man sits alone crying. "Should I stop, better not..."

    The title of the song could also be "What you do for the least of these my brothers you do also for me". I've just always found it odd that you see this played out in real life everywhere during the season people claim to celebrate Jesus Christ. You aren't too busy, stop.

  9. B.... Z....

    A pretty is as thin as a paper? Yeah, what about 1000 sheet of paper.

  10. E.... B....

    Can't believe shes got a really nice voice and taste for music. I'm 18 but I prefer listening to these kinds of songs sometimes. She's really beautiful and has a very beautiful voice. I love these classical songs especially if it was sung by modern people.

  11. S.... ....

    Her voice is really gorgeous. she was really standing out since she has starred in the 'Phantom of opera'. I love her and her voice. It is really awesome. She is perpect. Her voice is like a lullaby from mom in the heaven.

  12. R.... 1....

    It's odd to me why she never gets movie parts much. She could be in musical movies regularly, she's far better than the likes of Amanda Seyfried & Anne Hathaway

  13. 8.... ....

    Willie Nelson has written so many great songs, but none prettier than this one. Have heard it done by many artists, none better than this. It's truly special.

    8.... ....

    87quantum its a toss up between this song and blue eyes crying in the rain

  14. M.... ....

    No. Just no. Stop.

    M.... ....

    why????

  15. A.... ....

    Gorgeous as always, Emmy :D

  16. I.... ....

    What do you call that net sort of thing over her face (sort of like a veil)? I've always wondered.

    I.... ....

    yes it is a veil.

  17. w.... s....

    i dont understand why she's not on top of the world and kim kardashian is... emmy is true talent...

    w.... s....

    AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

    w.... s....

    Amen ! What has this world become?

  18. m.... k....

    An attractive girl who is a good actress. And her singing is fantastic.  I just wish she would record more.  She can sing anything better than most anybody else.  I need MORE Emmy, please!

  19. M.... L....

    She is so perfect in every single way❤️ I love her so much. Her and Gerard Butler made the best phantom and Christine, by far. I love them both so much. She is so perfect and her voice is amazing ❤️

  20. L.... P....

    oh wow...she has a gorgeous voice..i want to hear everything and anything she's ever done...i subscribed immediately....amazing job Emmy

  21. M.... B....

    Beautifully done!!!!! =)

  22. F.... G....

    No recuerdo cómo conocí el disco Sentimental Journey, pero fue antes de saber que Emmy actuaba. Tenía un rato sin escuchar estas canciones... 
    Increíbles.

  23. D.... L....

    l 've heard a lot of people sing this song, this is the best one. Emmy your voice is perfect.

  24. M.... A....

    didn't elvis rerecord this too

    M.... A....

    Roy Orbison, I believe.

    M.... A....

    +realblackhart They are all covers, dude!

    M.... A....

    realblackhart Well, Willie Nelson sang that song, too.

    M.... A....

    +rocknrollkid90 ok. it was a question. I wasn't criticizing

    M.... A....

    Willie wrote it.

  25. M.... ....

    The song puts me in mind of a lost lonely dog, sitting, shivering, pleading only with innocent eyes, asking for but a kind gesture. In the end, it's a homeless tramp who welcomes his new friend, sharing his meager soup-kitchen meal.

  26. k.... ....

    Very pretty version of my favorite Christmas song.

  27. S.... ....

    The first time I heard this. I cried! Such a gentle and soothing voice she has. :)

  28. K.... P....

    I totally agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  29. P.... P....

    Love her voice. Cannot wait for her next CD.

  30. M.... H....

    She is so underrated. What a fabulous voice.

  31. n.... p....

    emmy you have angelic voice

  32. c.... ....

    Absolutely awesome. More, please.

  33. C.... S....

    Awesome voice!!!

  34. M.... C....

    emmy keep bringing this kinda music back in the world. the think the 1920's to 1940's are some of the country best moments. an i love that your totally into this stuff. you rock! shameless rocks!!

  35. B.... ....

    she is best !

  36. d.... ....

    Now I want to hear her cover In Dreams.

  37. m.... r....

    Bellisima canción, maravillosa cantante, preciosa actriz. Me gusta,

  38. J.... S....

    You obviously don't know she played Christine Daae in the film version of Phantom of the Opera...

  39. C.... A....

    I didn't know she sang! She's really good.

  40. R.... ....

    She is SO pretty.

  41. J.... ....

    I have never heard of her before now,WOW her voice is addictive,i am liking it so far.

  42. G.... B....

    Yes, I love your voice. I love this woman!!!

  43. k.... b....

    Why take a album out that isn't going to be big on the market place? I'm sayin be like lady gaga or Taylor swift. But the reality is this wont make the charts

  44. H.... B....

    I'd love a Emmy Rossum Regina Spektor duet :3

  45. K.... Y....

    For real! She is amazing!

  46. a.... ....

    can't stop listening to this either

  47. n.... ....

    I love this, but I soooo wanted to hear more new age and especially because that were songs she wrote. Howether, love this. Cannot really believe that she will be playing that badass Ridley :D But one thing is for sure - this WILL be her year.

  48. M.... K....

    Love you Emmy, you're an inspiration 3

  49. n.... p....

    it is very beautiful song and emmy has wonderful voice. i think, it's shame that this video has only 16992 view.

  50. m.... S....

    lovely voice nd merry christmas

  51. C.... K....

    I love that she has another album, i've been waiting since the first one came out!!

  52. S.... D....

    Golden Voice

  53. L.... ....

    I have been waiting for her to do another album. I was disappointed in her first album which did not capture her beautiful voice as in Phantom. Hopefully in the future she also does an album of Broadway musicals including Phantom.

  54. E.... P....

    Since people are saying this song is old and she didn't write it, well you're right. She didn't write it Willie Nelson did. Roy Orbison re-recorded it and she also re-corded it too. So, yes it's an old song and she didn't write it. The song is 49 years old.

  55. D.... ....

    Brava, brava, bravisima...
    ;)

  56. E.... ....

    I can now die happy, I've been waiting forever for her to get a new CLASSICAL album. :') Oh joy.

  57. E.... G....

    Since I listened to Emmy Rossum's voice in the Phantom of the opera movie, I was wishing that she was interpreting an album as soloist.

  58. M.... M....

    Me neither, i'm a big fan, love her last cd big time.. this. this isn't working :( she's talented but this doesn't call to me i understand. i'm dissapointed

  59. R.... ....

    Emmy...you just get everything PERFECTLY done, don't you?! I LOVE YOU & can't wait to listen times and times again to your upcoming album.

  60. j.... ....

    This is just perfect.

  61. m.... a....

    If u dont like it dont watch it! She amazing kne of the best pretty paper rendition yet

  62. o.... ....

    I don't enjoy it.

  63. o.... ....

    Yeah. I don't like it

  64. M.... ....

    I believe the Metropolitan Opera would disagree with you, seeing as that's where she was TRAINED. Idiot.

  65. P.... ....

    I adore her voice!

  66. E.... P....

    She can sing. What the hell are you talking about? She actually is a triple threat she can sing, dance, and act. Unlike some people who are in this industry she is someone with talent and isn't even noticed because she doesn't do ridicoulus acting like skits like Miley Cyrus and that's just sad. She has a beautiful voice and anyone who has heard it before now agrees.

  67. E.... M....

    Every one is saying "it's an old song" or "hate it" just because its a different style. Her voice is classically trained which is why she was so phenomenal in phantom. Although I loved her first album it didn't do her voice any justice. This is her style or closer to it and she is an amazing singer so please keep your hate to yourself :)

  68. w.... ....

    Pretty nice. I was very worried at first, but this is something I can relax too.

  69. x.... ....

    This is real talent,

  70. M.... C....

    It sounds so different! I like it.

  71. P.... B....

    She sings. She is Fiona. And still so young. Must have started her career right after birth.

  72. m.... ....

    why isn't it available on iphone? :(

  73. Y.... C....

    Christine continued! Just perfect.

  74. n.... ....

    Well done Emmy! something between Disney and Christmas

  75. F.... ....

    Very pretty Em. Can't wait for the new album. (Now all we need is for Fiona to get a man and a job worthy of her and all will be right in the world)

  76. C.... A....

    Stunning voice, as always! Can't wait to hear the rest!

  77. J.... C....

    I loved her first album... but if the songs on this album are going to be like this i may not get it

  78. B.... K....

    hate it.

  79. m.... ....

    The first album was magical. Songs like "Slow me down" and "High" are absolute favourites.
    I'm not sure I'll be able to listen to the upcoming album if all the songs are covers of some old nonsence. It's a shame.

  80. N.... K....

    Phenomenal. Never been so excited for an album. It puts me in a holiday mood!

  81. o.... ....

    ... Stick to the acting.

  82. B.... N....

    I've murdered the poor repeat button

  83. d.... ....

    Oh my goodness, she sounds gorgeous! Sounds like she did in Phantom. Just wonderful. This is the Emmy I was hoping for! Can't wait for the album in January!

  84. T.... N....

    Love the song and can't wait to hear the whole album! This track definitely gets me in the December mood!

  85. A.... A....

    You always have amazing voice , I love every song you sing!
    Big support to you Emmy <3

  86. p.... ....

    Yeah, this is really kinda boring though.

  87. o.... ....

    Gorgeous song, gorgeous voice, gorgeous lady. <3

  88. t.... ....

    What a voice !
