"Bouquet Of Roses" lyrics

"Bouquet Of Roses"
(originally by Eddy Arnold)

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

You've made our lovers lane a road of sorrow
'til at last we had to say goodbye
You're leaving me to face each new tomorrow
With a broken heart that 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
I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses
One for every time you broke my heart
