Roses are red, my love

Violets are blue

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 (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)

Is that your little girl, she looks so much like you

Some day 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 (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).
