[00:09.75]A long, long time ago
[00:13.25]
[00:14.57]On graduation day
[00:17.96]
[00:19.03]You handed me your book
[00:22.21]
[00:23.09]I signed this way:
[00:26.09]"Roses are red, my love.
[00:30.34]Violets are blue.
[00:33.97]
[00:35.22]Sugar is sweet, my love.
[00:37.78]
[00:38.84]But not as sweet as you."
[00:41.53]
[00:44.03]We dated through high school.
[00:47.22]
[00:48.84]And when the big day came,
[00:52.09]
[00:53.34]I wrote into your book,
[00:56.22]
[00:57.90]next to my name:
[00:59.53]
[01:00.28]"Roses are red, my love.
[01:05.09]Violets are blue.
[01:07.47]
[01:09.84]Sugar is sweet, my love.
[01:12.61]
[01:13.36]But not as sweet as you."
[01:15.99]
[01:20.86]Then I went far away
[01:24.93]And you found someone new
[01:27.99]
[01:29.99]I read your letter dear
[01:33.87]And I wrote back to you:
[01:37.24]"Roses are red, my love.
[01:40.17]
[01:42.24]Violets are blue.
[01:43.86]
[01:46.63]Sugar is sweet, my love.
[01:50.44]Good luck may god bless you."
[01:55.44]Is that your little girl?
[01:59.51]
[02:00.50]She looks a lot like you.
[02:03.13]
[02:04.57]Someday some boy will write
[02:09.19]in her book, too.
[02:11.82]"Roses are red, my love.
[02:15.25]
[02:16.69]Violets are blue.
[02:20.42]
[02:21.29]Sugar is sweet, my love.
[02:25.23]But not as sweet as you."
