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
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
