If you wear red tonight
Remember what I said tonight
For red is the color that my baby wore
And what is more, it’s true
Yes it is
Remember what I said tonight
For red is the color that my baby wore
And what is more, it’s true
Yes it is
Scarlet were the clothes she wore
Everybody knows I’m sure
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
Yes it is
Everybody knows I’m sure
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
Yes it is
I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it’s my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah
If I could forget her, but it’s my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah
Please don’t wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
Yes it is
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
Yes it is
I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it’s my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah
If I could forget her, but it’s my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah
Please don’t wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
Yes it is, it’s true
