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.
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....
