Perry Como — And Roses and Roses

Everyday I sent another present Just to let her know how very much I care . . Wrote a little love note with each present But it didn't seem to get me anywhere . . My poor worried heart was almost certain That this love affair would never be . . Then I sent a dozen yellow roses Then from that moment she belonged to me . . Roses, roses, roses I thank all the roses That bloom in the spring . . Love is a wonderful thing The rest of my life I will bring her Roses and roses and roses of love . . Roses, roses, roses I thank you for saying What I couldn't say . . Oh!, what a wonderful way To tell her, "I Love You" each day With roses and roses and roses of love . . And roses and roses and roses of love And roses and roses and roses . . Words and Music by Ray Gilbert And Dorival Caymmi , 1965
