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
GOOD 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
SUGAR IS SWEET MY LOVE
BUT NOT AS SWEET
AS YOU
