18 Yellow Roses Lyrics

EIGHTEEN YELLOW ROSES

 Bobby Darin

 

 Eignteen 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
