(Roses are red my love)

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 school and when the big day came

I wrote into your book next to my name

Roses are red my love...



Is that your little girl she looks a lot like you

Some day some boy will write in her book too

Roses are red my love...



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
