| 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
|
| 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 |
