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 know

Sometimes I feel so blue
And I long for home and you
But I must stay and fight the foe

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 every 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 through

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
