In the mail that came today, was the rose from your bouquet
And a note said your were banded yesterday
Tied around the rose I found, a ribbon from your gown
Just a ribbon and a rose from your bouquet
A ribbon and a rose I'll keep forever
And before the love between us will be closed
I'll send back each little note every precious word you wrote
But I'll always keep your ribbon and your rose
Inst
When old memories I recall and the teardrops are to fall
I'll remember all the things we used to do
Then your ribbon I'll unfold and your faded rose I'll hold
And I'll live again in hopes that I'll hold you
