(Roses are red my love violets are blue
Sugar is sweet my love but not as sweet as you)

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...

Is that your little girl she looks so much like you
Some day some boy will write in her book too

Roses are red my love violets are blue...

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
