Roses Are Red lyrics

(Roses are red, my love)
(Doo doo da doo)

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." (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." (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
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you."
(Roses are red)
