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 you 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.
