((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 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))
