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
But eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card 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 I
never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
There's nothing left for me
to do
But ask to meet the boy who's done this thing
To find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
Those eighteen yellow
roses will wilt and die someday
But a father's love will never fade away Never fade away
