Lyrics
[verse]
A schoolyard rhyme once made her laugh
About the roses on a garden path
I wrote her name on a valentine card
Never knowing how she'd hold my heart so hard
[chorus]
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But nothing's sweet as you
[verse]
The years went by and we grew up fast
She found another, our young love didn't last
But every springtime when the roses bloom
I still hear her laughing in that empty room
[chorus]
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But nothing's sweet as you
[bridge]
Some say that love is just a game we played
A children's rhyme that's bound to fade
But I still mean each word I wrote back then
I'd write that card a thousand times again
[chorus]
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But nothing's sweet as you
