A Rose from the Bride's Bouquet

A Rose From the Bride's Bouquet -“Little“ Jimmy Dickens

I went to a wedding

One fine summer day

The bride was a beauty

And 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 there

When beside the church door

I picked up a rose

That fell on the floor

Alone and neglected

As I was that day

Was my sweet little rose

From the bride's bouquet

It was only a rose

From the bride's bouquet

Once filled with love perfume

Now faded and grey

Like the love that

She gave me that faded away

My sweet little rose

From the bride's bouquet

Each petal reminds me

Of a moment of bliss

A sweet tender love word

A lingering kiss

I waited in teardrops

Then hide it away

My sweet little rose

From the bride's bouquet
