Marty Robbins - 18 Yellow Roses lyrics

rate me

Eighteen yellow roses came today<br />

Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet<br />

When the boy came to the door<br />

I didn't know what to say<br />

But eighteen yellow roses came today.<br />

<br />

I opened up the card to see what it said<br />

I couldn't believe my eyes<br />

When I had read<br />

Though you belong to another I love you anyway<br />

Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.<br />

<br />

I never doubted your love for a minute<br />

I always thought that you would be true<br />

But now this box and the flowers in it<br />

I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.<br />

<br />

But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing<br />

And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring<br />

'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day<br />

But a father's love will never fade away.
