Early In The Morningbd lyrics

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
