When the man from the flower-shop rings your doorbell today

Take the red rose with the ribbon of blue

You'll find a million memories you threw away

In this red rose I'm sending to you



It's just a red rose from the blue side of town

From a lonely man you left down

I'm sending it from my world that new world you found

It's just a red rose from the blue side of town

[ steel ]

My red rose may not decorate your mansion on the hill

With your pretty flowers all around

But a thousand roses in your garden can't express the love

That's in this red rose I'm sending to you



It's just a red rose from the blue side of town...
