Someday
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
Joseph & Children
I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colors shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do
Joseph
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
Joseph & Children
May I return to the beginning

Scarlet Ribbons
The Kingston Trio
Words and Music by Evelyn Danzig and Jack O. Segal
-From their 1959 LP "The Kingston Trio At Large"
I peeped in to say good night
And I heard my child in prayer
"Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
Searched all night, my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in, and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Scarlet ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
