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
Eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes what I had read
It said you belong to another but I love you anyway
Eighteen yellow roses came today
I never doubted your love for me
I always thought that you would be true
But now the box and the flowers here
I guess there's nothing left for me to do
But go and find the boy who's done this thing
And ask 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
Never fade away
Never fade away
