Lyrics:

Roses are red, my love!
Du-du-du-du

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
Good 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
