Roses are red my love

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet my love

But not as sweet as you.



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.



Is that your little girl

She looks so much like you

Some day 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.



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.
