A Rose From The Bride S Bouquet lyrics

A ROSE FROM THE BRIDE`S BOUQUET

(It was only a rose from the bride`s bouquet)
I went to a wedding one bright summer day
The bride was a beauty and the people were gay
Alone in a corner I stood till the end
For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend
When the service was over there beside the church door
I picked up a rose that laid on the floor
Alone and neglected as I was that day
Was my sweet little rose from the bride`s bouquet
It was only a rose from the bride`s bouquet
Once filled with love perfume now faded and grey
Like the love that she gave me it faded away
This sweet little rose from the bride`s bouquet
Each petal reminds me of a moment of bliss
A sweet little love word a lingering kiss
I waited in teardrops then hide it away
My sweet little rose from the bride`s bouquet
