[Intro]

Roses are red, my love!

Du-du-du-du

[Verse 1]

A long-long time ago

On graduation day

You handed me your book

I signed this way

[Chorus]

Roses are red, my love!

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love!

But not as sweet as you

[Verse 2]

We dated through high school

And when the big day came

I wrote into your book

Next to my name

[Chorus]

Roses are red, my love!

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love!

But not as sweet as you

As sweet as you

[Verse 3]

Then, I went far away

And you found someone new

I read your letter, dear!

And I wrote back to you

[Refrain]

Roses are red, my love!

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love

Good luck! May God bless you

May God bless you

[Verse 4]

Is that your little girl?

She looks a lot like you

Someday, some boy will write

In her book, too

[Chorus]

Roses are red, my love!

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet, my love!

But not as sweet as you

[Outro]

Roses are red
