Bradley Hathaway - Roses Are Red Violets Are Blue lyrics

roses are red violets are blue i wanna write you poetry and tell you how much i love you but I can't find the words no I can't find the words I could buy you lots of chocolates I could buy you pretty things I could take you to an opera I could take you to a swing and push you back and forth and push you back and ofrth like a little kid sometimes I feel silly when your near I wanna whisper a secret in your ear I love you and I'm not Shakespeare so i can't say this as well as he could and I'm not Van Gough I can't paint you a picture as well as he could so I'll write this simple song I'll just sing this simple song and tell you that I love you and when we get real old and get discounts where ever we go and you walk with a walker and I limp with a cane and you start to complain how your hair gets messed up in the rain or your arthritis is bad I'll point to the love that's been beside us all these years and i'll tell you then dear like i'm telling you here I love you
