Roses Are Red

Recorded By: Bobby Vinton

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.
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.´
