MY LOVE IS LIKE A RED RED ROSE ROBERT BURNS O my love is like a red red rose That s newly sprung in June O my love is like a melody That s sweetly played in tune As fair thou art ,my bonny lass Sa deep in love am I And I will love thee still my dear Till all the seas gang dry Till all the seas gang dry my dear And the rocks melt with the sun And I will love thee still my dear While the sands of life shall run So fare thee well my only love And fare thee well a while And I will come again my love Thou were ten thousand miles Mike loved this song his Scottish roots no doubt he often played and sang it to me until he started to be ill then the words made him cry he was a talented musician could play piano saxophone clarinet and guitar and had a lovely tenor singing voice And I will love thee still my love till all the seas gang dry
