And Roses and Roses

Everyday I sent another present
Just to let her know how very much I care . .
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
Then 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 . .
And roses and roses and roses of love
And roses and roses and roses . .
