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...
