Lyrics:

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 cuz eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day but a fathers love, will never fade away will never fade away
