Porter Wagoner - The Brides Bouquet lyrics

My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet I went to a wedding one bright summer day The bride was a beauty the people were gay Alone in a corner I stood till the end For the girl was my sweetheart and the boy my best friend The service was over and beside the church door I picked up the rose that fell on the floor I bathed it with teardrops then threw it away My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet Once filled with love's perfume now faded away Like the love that I gave her she threw it away My beautiful rose from the bride's bouquet ( steel ) It's only a rose from the bride's bouquet
