Lyric :

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

(Roses are red, my love)
(Doo doo da doo)A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way:”Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you.”

We dated through high school
And when the big day came
I wrote into your book
Next to my name:

“Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you.” (as sweet as you)

Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter, dear
And I wrote back to you:

“Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But luck may God bless you.” (may God bless you)

Is that your little girl?
She looks a lot like you
Someday some boy will write
In her book, too:

“Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you.”
(Roses are red)

About The Song :

“Roses Are Red (My Love)” is a song composed by Al Byron and Paul Evans, recorded by Bobby Vinton in April 1962. Initially discovered in a reject pile at Epic Records, Vinton first recorded it as an R&B piece but later re-recorded it with a slower, more dramatic arrangement, featuring strings and a vocal choir. The song achieved widespread success, reaching No. 1 in Australia, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, and the United States, marking Vinton’s first major hit.

The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks starting on July 14, 1962, becoming Epic Records’ first number-one hit. Billboard ranked it No. 4 on the “Top 100 Singles of 1962” and No. 36 on the top Rhythm and Blues records of the same year. Cash Box’s “Top 100 Chart Hits of 1962” placed the song at No. 17.

Bobby Vinton, initially signed as a bandleader by CBS (Epic) Records in 1960, faced the possibility of being dropped from the label after two unsuccessful LPs. In a pivotal meeting with executives, he convinced them to let him sing on what they considered to be his final single—the song he found discarded in the trash. The first recording did not meet Vinton’s satisfaction due to tempo issues, prompting a successful re-recording that not only reached No. 1 in the US but also secured him a new recording contract as a solo artist.
