A long, long time ago, on graduation day
D E A
You handed me your book, I signed this way:
A7 D A F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
D E E7 A D A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)
E E7 A
We dated through high school and when the big day came
D E A
I wrote into your book, next to my name:
A7 D A F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
D E E7 A D A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)
E E7 A
Is that your little girl? She looks so much like you
D E A
Someday some boy will write, in her book too:
A7 D A F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
D E E7 A D A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)
D E E7 A A7
Then, I went far away - and you found someone new
D E A D E
I read your letter dear - and I wrote back to you:
A7 D A F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
D E E7 A D A
Sugar is sweet my love, good luck may God bless you (may God bless you)
