Music by Robbie Smith
Words by Robbie Smith and Anne Smith
Where are the things that she wore
Red rosey ribbons
And where are the children she bore
Time has them now
Time has them now
Where are the long summer days
Of smiling and wishing
They’re lost in a lavender haze
For time has them now
Time has them now
And all that is left of the life that I knew
Are these visions of mine
And when I am gone there’ll be no one to see them
But time, only time
Where is my sleepy old town
Daydreams and daisies
And where are the crinoline gowns
Time has them now
Time has them now
And all that is left of the life that I knew
Are these visions of mine
And when I am gone there’ll be no one to see them
But time, only time
I saw a girl yesterday
Wearing red rosey ribbons
Watching her baby at play
Time carries on
Time carries on
Red rosey ribbons
