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...



We dated through school and when the big day came

I wrote into your book next to my name



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



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...
