Roses Are Red (My Love) – Bobby Vinton – Bing video

Lyrics by Bobby Vinton:

 
 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,
 Good 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.” 

Happy Valentine’s Day!
