Eighteen yellow roses came today
|
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
|
When the boy came to the door
|
I didn't know what to say
|
But eighteen yellow roses came today
|
|
I opened up the card to see what it said
|
I couldn't believe my eyes
|
When I had read
|
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
|
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
|
|
I never doubted your love for a minute
|
I always thought that you would be true
|
But now this box and the flowers in it
|
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
|
|
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
|
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
|
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
|
But a father's love will never fade away
|
Will never fade away
|
