Eighteen Yellow Roses Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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 

I guess there's nothin' left for me to do 

But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing 

And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring 

'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day 

But a father's love will never fade away 

Will never fade away
