Roses Are Red Lyrics

ROSES ARE RED (MY LOVE) 

WRITERS PAUL EVANS, AL BYRON



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. But 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."
