Текст песни 18 Yellow Roses - Steve Goodman

Eighteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the postman brought them 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
At the words that I read

Though you belong to another
I love you anyway
And eighteen yellow roses came today

I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you could be true
But this this package and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothing left for me to do

But try to find the boy
That's done this thing
And ask him if he's got plans
To buy you a ring

Eighteen yellow roses
Will wither and die one day
But a father's love will never fade away
