Bouquet Of Roses

(album: Country Classics - 1952)

I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
And as the door of love between us closes
Tears will fall like petals when we part

I begged you to be different
But you'll always be untrue
I'm tired of forgiving
Now there's nothing left to do

So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart

You made our lover's lane a road of sorrow
'Til at last we have to say goodbye
You're leaving me to face each new tomorrow
With a broken heart you taught to cry

I know that I should hate you
After all you've put me through
But how can I be bitter
When I'm still in love with you

So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart...
