Porter Wagoner - Bride's Bouquet lyrics

rate me

My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet

I went to a wedding one bright summer day

The bride was a beauty the people were gay

Alone in a corner I stood till the end

For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend

The service was over and beside the church door

I picked up the rose that fell on the floor

I bathed it with teardrops then threw it away

My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet

It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet

Once filled with love's perfume now faded away

Like the love that I gave her she threw it away

My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet

[ steel ]

It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet
