EIGHTEEN YELLOW ROSES
Bobby Darin


Eignteen 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 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 eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day 
But a father's love will never fade away 
Will never fade away
