Red Roses for a Blue Lady

Artist: Al Martino

Album: Capital Collectors Series

Song Length: 2:40

George's Thoughts: A classic love song. Vic Dana's original version was #10 on the Billboard charts in 1965. Al Martino does a nice version of this, but if you can get Des O'Connor's version it is much more danceable, with a more clearly defined beat. In addition to "Best of Slowfox Music," you'll find it on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 2."

Song Lyrics:

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

(I want some red roses for a blue lady)

We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue, blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
