I'm Sending You Red Roses

I'm far away from home

Out on the dashing foam

Just how far I have traveled

I'll never knowSometimes I feel so blue

And I long for home and you

But I must stay and fight the foeSo 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 youEnclosed, you will find my heart, dear

So treat it with tender care

And every time you look inside, dear

You'll find my love is thereMay each petal be a memory

Of the happiness we knew

Each thorn may tell a story

Of the heartache that I've been throughSo I'm sending you red roses

Although we're oceans apart

And remember when they fade, dear

That you'll always have my heart
