I¡¯m far away from home out on the dashing foam,
|
Just how far I have travelled I¡¯ll never know,
|
Sometimes I feel so blue and I long for home and you,
|
But I must stay and fight the foe.
|
|
|
CHORUS
|
So I¡¯m sending you red roses to tell you my love is true,
|
And I send them so you will know dear that I¡¯m always thinking of you.
|
Enclosed you will find my heart dear so treat it with tender care
|
And ev¡¯ry time you look inside dear you¡¯ll find my love is there.
|
|
May each petal be a memory of the happiness we knew,
|
Each thorn may tell a story of the heartache that I¡¯ve been thro¡¯,
|
So I¡¯m sending you red roses although we¡¯re oceans apart,
|
And remember when they fade dear that you¡¯ll always have my heart.
