Lyrics
Roses are tonic and violets are gin and it's intoxicating to breathe you in
I held a sea shell up to my ear
And a voice like the ocean echoed so clear
Now that I found you there's not a chance
That ever again alone I shall dance
And I don't mind at all
I don't mind at all
And I don't at all
Roses are T-shirts
And violets are jeans
And you tell me I fit you like a second skin
Out on the ocean I heard the birds calling
They said girl in love with this boy you are falling
And I don't mind at all
I don't mind at all
And I don't mind at all
Bridge: Roses are quiet and violets are loud
And you said that you picked me out of the crowd
And you swept me away
Roses are coffee and violets are cream
And we sit on the beach and we share all our dreams
By this sand below you
And the clouds above you
I swear boy that even beyond death I love you
And I don't mind at all
I don't mind at all
And I don't mind at all
