Ribbons and roses A bridal bouquet A room full of laughter and tears Ribbons and roses A new band of gold Memory souvenir I can still hear people saying "Oh, what a beautiful bride" We stood there posing for pictures Three hearts that used to be tied We all grew up together This was our first goodbye Two of us starting a new life And one lonely girl Who'll cry Ribbons and roses A new band of gold Memory souvenir Now that the wedding is over Everyone's gone on their way Soon they'll bе turning the lights down Sweeping the petals away Nothing is lеft but echoes Nothing to do but go home Knowing I've lost him forever I walk out the door, alone Ribbons and roses A bridal bouquet A room full of laughter and tears Ribbons and roses A new band of gold Memory souvenir
