Every day I sent another present
Just to let her know how very much I care
I wrote a little love note with each present
But it didn't seem to get me anywhere

My poor worried heart was almost certain
That this love affair would never be
Then I sent a dozen yellow roses and
From that moment, she belonged to me

Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the Spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love

Roses, roses, roses, I thank you for saying what I couldn't say
Oh, what a wonderful way to tell her I love you each day
With roses and roses and roses of love

Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the Spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love
(Roses and roses and roses and roses of love)
Roses and roses and roses of love
(Roses and roses and roses)
