Lyrics:

Eighteen yellow roses came todayeighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquetwhen the boy came to the doorI didn't know what to saybut eighteen yellow roses came todayI opened up the cardto see what it saidI couldn't believe my eyeswhen I had readthough you belong to anotherI love you anywayyes eighteen yellow roses came todayI never doubted your love for a minuteI always thought that you would be truebut now this box and the flowers in itI guess there's nothing left for me to dobut ask to meet the boythat's done this thingand find out if he's got plansto buy you a ringcuz eighteen yellow roseswill wilt and die one daybut a fathers love, will never fade awaywill never fade away
