String Around the Box
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
Red string tied in a bow
Flour dust on the steel
Someone kept this a secret
Just to see how you'd feel

[Pre-chorus]
Hands are waiting to clap
Voices ready to rise
Somebody light every candle

[Chorus]
Winnie, we made this for you
Sweet as a stolen penny
Every good thing comes true
When the room is full of Winnie

[Verse 2]
Count how far you have travelled
Farther than any could guess
Nobody carries your kindness
Nobody wears it so well

[Chorus]
Winnie, we made this for you
Sweet as a stolen penny
Every good thing comes true
When the room is full of Winnie

[Bridge]
Cut the string, lift the lid
Let the whole table cheer
Whatever this year is bringing
We are glad you are here

[Chorus]
Winnie, we made this for you
Sweet as a stolen penny
Every good thing comes true
When the room is full of Winnie

[Outro]
Fold the box, keep the string
Keep this day close and warm
