18 yellow roses came today |
|
18 yellow roses in a pretty bouquet |
|
When the boy came to the door, I didn't know what to say |
|
But, 18 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, 18 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 18 yellow roses will wilt and die one day |
|
But a father's love will never fade away, will never fade away |
