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.
