(Intro)
A dozen pretty flowers
on the table just for me.
(Verse)
He called me up and said
meet me, at the cafe.
There's flowers on your table
and I'll be a little late.
So I hurried to the cafe,
found the flowers right away.
Then I sat down at the table
and read the card that said:
(Verse)
I hate to break your heart,
but I'm leaving town tonight.
I'm going back to my wife
and try to make things right.
Here's a dozen pretty flowers
but, no kiss good bye.
And I wont be there to say solong,
cause I don't want to see you cry.
(Chorus)
A dozen pretty flowers
on the table just for me.
Now there just a riminder
that his wife I'll never be.
A dozen pretty flowers
but, no kiss good by.
He didn't even say solong,
so, I'm not going to cry.
(Break)
(Verse)
So I gathered up my flowers
and took them home that night.
I placed them on my table,
in plain open sight.
A year has come and gone,
and I'm still all alone.
Just like my dozen pretty flowers,
I'm just the girl he left behind.
(Chorus)
A dozen pretty flowers
on the table just for me.
And there still a reminder
that his wife I'll never be.
A dozen pretty flowers
but, no kiss good bye.
He wasn't even there to say solong,
cause he didn't wanna see me cry.
(Break)
(Bridge)
As time passes by,
I wonder how he feels,
knowing that he left behind
a heart that never heals.
And if he could see me now,
I'm sure he'd be supprised.
Still no tears in my eyes
cause, I'm not going to cry.
(Outro)
A dozen wilted flowers
on the table just for me.
