Just A Faded Petal From A Beautiful Bouquet Lyrics

Darling I recieved your last long letter

And in close I found the petal from the rose

Then I picked and placed it in your head dear

Where we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago



You say that you can understand today dear

Why in tears I told you when you went away

Now you're leaving and I'll be so lonely

Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet

[ guitar ]

You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted

Your happiness in life sweetheart you say it's through

And that you regret the day you left me

And broke my heart to change an old love for the new



With aching heart and tears I write this letter

Old mem'ries I could never never cast away

I'll forget you and you'll find me waiting

Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
