[Verse 1.]
CRoses are Fred  violets are Cblue
Primroses Fpale on a velvet green Chue
Warm summer Dmdays by cool waterAmfalls
Like music we G7hear
Those tFhings we'll Calways hold G7dear
Like an Amold  Ffashioned Cwaltz
[Verse 2.]
When the moonlight shines Fdown
On the Hollywood Cworld
And the heroine Fwaits for her love to Creturn
And the violins Dmplay from behind garden wAmalls
Oh how I'd G7love to Fremain with the Csilver Dmrefrain
Of an Amold  Ffashioned Cwaltz
[Verse 3.]
And they dance round the Ffloor and there's no one else Cthere
And the world is no Fmore and there's never a Ccare
By the perfect lDmagoon as the nightingale Amcalls
With only the G7moon  Fand the Cnostalgic Dmtune
Of an Amold  Ffashioned Cwaltz
[Verse 4.]
CRoses are Fred  violets are Cblue
Primroses Fpale on a velvet green Chue
Warm summer Dmdays by cool waterAmfalls
Like music we G7hear
Those tFhings we'll Calways hold G7dear
Like an Amold  Ffashioned Cwaltz
