Roses are Red (My Love)

(Roses are red, my love, doo-doo-da-doo)

A long, long time ago

On graduation day

You handed me your book

I signed this way

"Roses are red, my love

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love

But not as sweet as you"

We dated through high school

And when the big day came

I wrote into your book

Next to my name

"Roses are red, my love

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love

But not as sweet as you" (as sweet as you)

Then I went far away

And you found someone new

I read your letter, dear

And I wrote back to you

"Roses are red, my love

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love

Good luck, may god bless you" (may god bless you)

Is that your little girl?

She looks a lot like you

Someday some boy will write

In her book, too

"Roses are red, my love

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love

But not as sweet as you" (roses are red)
