Roses Are Red Bobby Vinton (#1 in 1962)

Roses are red, my love ... doo doo da doooo ...

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:
       Chorus

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.
   Chorus
