|
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. |
