Roses are red:Bobby Vinton. #1 in USA & #15 in UK in '62. #1. ............. A long, long time ago, On gradu..ation day, You handed me your book, I signed this way... CHORUS:#1. Roses are red, my love, Violets are blue. Sugar is sweet, my love, But not as sweet as you. #2. We dated through high school, And when the big day came. I wrote into your book, Next to my name... CHORUS:#1. #3. Then I went far away, And you found someone new. I read your letter dear, And I wrote back to you... CHORUS:#2. Roses are red, my love, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, my love, good luck, may god bless you. #4. Is that your little girl? She looks a lot like you. Someday some boy will write, In her book, too. CHORUS:#1. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
