Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I feel so alone when in a crowd,

'cos I'm there, there without you.

Oh, why does my heart do this?

To be with you would be such bliss,

Heaven on Earth and all of that,

If we were together we would never part,

But I am alone, forever alone,

I have time on my side,

Stuck in the largest of oceans,

Never to be taken by the tide.

Love does not want to know me,

But only if you could see,

That you are the apple on a tree,

A rose on a thorn bush,

The thorns make my heart bleed,

Now is no time to hush,

I want to plant the seed,

The seed of love and I want to see it grow,

But if only I knew, to do this how?

Love does not want to know me,

I am alone, forever alone.

Time is unending,

And my heart stands true,

If only I could prove this,

Prove this to you,

Though roses are still red,

Violets are still blue,

My heart continues to bleed,

Bleed for you.
