Bobby Vinton – Roses Are Red

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

Goog luck may GOD bless you

Is that your little girl?

She looks a lot like you

Someday someone 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
