Roses are Red

Roses are Red - Jim Reeves

...

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 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

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 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
