18 Yellow Roses lyrics - Marty Robbins

See also: Robbins Marty Chords

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

I opened up the box to see what it said
Couldn't believe my eyes when I 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 with 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
To see if he's made plans to buy you a ring
Cause eighteen yellow roses, will fade and die some day
But a fathers love will never fade away

[Thanks to Jim for lyrics]
