(Roses are red my love...do do do do)



A long, long time ago, 

On graduation Day

You handed me you book,

I signed this way:

Roses are red my love, Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet my love, but not a sweet as you.



We dated through High School,

And when the big day came,

I wrote in your book,

Next to my name:

Roses are red my love, Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet my love, but not a 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, but Luck 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.....)
