Cover art for Eighteen Yellow Roses lyrics by Bobby Darin

This is a song of every girl's father... There comes a point in time, when Daddy has to let go of his baby girl, and it is probablly the most difficult moment in his life. In this song, the Daddy is taken by surprise, when he unexpectedly finds a florist with flowers for his daughter... and then realises that the time has probably come for him to let go.There is nothing left for him 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. Daddy has his reservations about ANY relationship that his daughter would get into, because eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day ... yet, he reminds his daughter, that a father's love will never fade away. I recall my father's emotions and feelings when my wedding day was approaching - and the day that i got married... and i can certainly relate to this song.
