When the man from the flower-shop rings your doorbell today   Take the red rose with the ribbon of blue   You'll find a million memories you threw away   In this red rose I'm sending to you      It's just a red rose from the blue side of town   From a lonely man you left down   I'm sending it from my world that new world you found   It's just a red rose from the blue side of town   [ steel ]   My red rose may not decorate your mansion on the hill   With your pretty flowers all around   But a thousand roses in your garden can't express the love   That's in this red rose I'm sending to you      It's just a red rose from the blue side of town...
