Eighteen Yellow Roses Lyrics

Eighteen Yellow Roses lyrics

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
