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 nothing
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
