Stanley Brothers - In Despair lyrics

(Roses are red my love violets are blue)

Sugar is sweet my love but not as sweet as you

A long long time ago on graduation day

You handed me your book I signed this way

(Roses are red...

We dated through high school and when the big day came

I've wrote into your book next to my name

(Roses are red...

Then I went far away and you found someone new

I read your letter dear and I wrote back to you

(Roses are red...

Is that your little girl she looks a lot like you

Some day some boy will write in her book too

(Roses are red...
