Everyday I'd see him

As he browsed around my store

He would come to buy my flowers

He would notice nothing more

How often I sat dreaming

Of the day he'd buy a rose

Place it in my hair

And kiss my lips and hold me close

Chorus:

If roses are red and violets are blue

Why can't you see I'm in love with you

If I can feel love as much as I do

Then why aren't you feeling my love for you

I waited while he looked around

It seemed to be for hours

To tell him all the love

That grew along with all the flowers

As I wrapped them up I envied

The girl he'd give them to

He handed them right back to me

And said these are for you

Chorus (1x)

If roses are red and violets are blue

Why can't you feel what I want you too

The love I can give both tender and true

Flowers are all I can give to you

As I wrapped them up I envied

The girl he'd give them to

He handed them right back to me

And said these are for you

Chorus (3x)
