Just A Faded Petal From A Beautiful Bouquet Lyrics - Hank Snow

Darling I recieved your last long letter 

And in close I found the petal from the rose 

Then I picked and placed it in your head dear 

Where we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago 

You say that you can understand today dear 

Why in tears I told you when you went away 

Now you're leaving and I'll be so lonely 

Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet 

[ guitar ] 

You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted 

Your happiness in life sweetheart you say it's through 

And that you regret the day you left me 

And broke my heart to change an old love for the new 

With aching heart and tears I write this letter 

Old mem'ries I could never never cast away 

I'll forget you and you'll find me waiting 

Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
