Marty Robbins - Eighteen 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 box 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 nothing left for me to do<br />

<br />

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

To see if he's made plans to buy you a ring<br />

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

But a father's love will never fade away
