Violets Are Blue
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Honeybees sting
And so do you!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I wish I could hit you with my shoe!
Is there any common sense in you?!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Bring this love back from the dead
Before I go crazy on you!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let the tears of yesterday
Water the seeds of tomorrow
Bright and in full bloom
Shiny and new
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet
But not nearly as much as you
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let your love shine through
To give us life once more
Before my knees buckle to the floor
I loved you yesterday
I love you now
I love you tomorrow
I love you still, unconditionally
I love you forever
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I want you my whole life through
I need you each day and night in my life
Please make me your one and only wife
I love you more and more
With each day passing
A life without you,
Is not worth having
Your hand in mine
And everything will be fine
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Please let these words of mine
Be enough
To carry us through
Until the end of time.
