Just A Faded Petal From A Beautiful Bouquet (1961)
Darling I recieved your last long letter And enclosed I found the petal from the rose Then I picked and placed it in your head dear Where we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago
You say that you can understand today dear Why in tears I told you when you went away Now you're leaving and I'll be so lonely Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet [ guitar ] You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted Your happiness in life sweetheart you say it's through And that you regret the day you left me And broke my heart to change an old love for the new
With aching heart and tears I write this letter Old mem'ries I could never never cast away I'll forget you and you'll find me waiting Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet.
