Roses Are Red

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."

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.

But luck 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....
