Roy Clark - Sweet Violets lyrics

All year long I waited for the chance To ask if she'd go with me to the dance She said what kind of flowers will I get And all I could afford to buy were sweet violets. Sweeter than all the roses Covered all over with teardrops She laughed at my sweet violets. That night another stole my love away He promised long stemmed roses everyday She broke my heart and still I can't forget The time she laughed and left me with my sweet violets. Her tear stained letter came to me today Now someone buys her orchids everyday She has the world at her command and yet She wants the boy who offered love and sweet violets. Sweeter than all the roses Covered all over with teardrops She cries for my sweet violets...
