Eighteen Yellow Roses

[CONNIE]
Eighteen 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

[CONNIE & SANDRA]
But eighteen yellow roses came today

[SANDRA]
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
"Though you belong to your mother, I love you anyway"

[CONNIE & SANDRA]
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today

[MARY, CONNIE & SANDRA]
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

[MARY]
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
Find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
But a mother's love will never fade away

[CONNIE & MARY]
Never fade away

[ALL]
Never fade away
