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 God bless you too

Is that your little girl

She looks a lot like you

Someday a 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
