Roses are red my love
Violets are blue ooh, ooh
Sugar is sweet my love
But not as sweet as you
A long, long time ago
On Graduation Day
You handed me your book
I sang this way
Roses are red my love
Violets are blue ooh, ooh
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 ooh, ooh
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 ooh, ooh
Sugar is sweet my love
But not 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 ooh, ooh
Sugar is sweet my love
But not as sweet as you...
