Bouquet Of Roses by Steve Nelson and Bob Hilliard "I had what I believed to be a very beautiful melody running around in my head. One day I met Bob Hilliard at a recording studio, and I sang it to him. He agreed that it was a 'sweet' tune, and as the word 'sweet' implied something romantic and flowery, we pursued that direction and finally came up with the title 'Bouquet Of Roses,' and then started to collaborate on the lyrics. The song was finished the following day." —Steve Nelson Bouquet Of Roses 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 pedals when we part. I begged you to be different But you'll always be untrue Now I'm tired of forgiving And there's nothing left to do So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses One for every time you broke my heart. You made our lover's lane a road of sorrow Till at last we had to say goodbye You're leaving me to face each new tomorrow With a broken heart you taught to cry. I know that I should hate you After all you put me through But how can I be bitter When I'm still in love with you? So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses One for every time you broke my heart.
