Roses Are Red

Bobby Vinton – Roses Are Red

Roses are red, my love … doo doo da doooo…
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. »
