18 Yellow Roses
Bobby Darin
[Verse 1]
Eighteen 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
When eighteen yellow roses came today
[Verse 2]
I opened up the box 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
[Bridge]
I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you could be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
[Verse 3]
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
To see if he's made plans to buy you a ring
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will fade and die someday
But a father's love will never fade away
