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
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 could 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
To see if he's made plans
To buy you a ring
'Cause eighteen yellow roses
Will fade and die someday
But a father's love
Will never fade away
