(Roses are red, my love, doo, doo, da, doooo) 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)
