18 yellow roses came today 18 yellow roses in a pretty bouquet When the boy came to the door, I didn't know what to say But, 18 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, 18 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 nothin' 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 'Cause 18 yellow roses will wilt and die one day But a father's love will never fade away, will never fade away
