Intro: D A7 D
D G
In the mail that came today, was the rose from your bouquet
D A7
And a note said your were banded yesterday
D G
Tied around the rose I found, a ribbon from your gown
D A7 D
Just a ribbon and a rose from your bouquet
G D
A ribbon and a rose I'll keep forever
A7
And before the love between us will be closed
D G
I'll send back each little note every precious word you wrote
D A7 D
But I'll always keep your ribbon and your rose

D G
When old memories I recall and the teardrops are to fall
D A7
I'll remember all the things we used to do
D G
Then your ribbon I'll unfold and your faded rose I'll hold
D A7 D
And I'll live again in hopes that I'll hold you
