Bride's Bouquet Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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
