Yellow Roses

(Dolly Parton) Hello you said the day we met Handing me a yellow rose You asked me out And to your surprise And to mine I said I'd go I thought it so romantic And I found you sweet and bold Though we'd only met I still said yes To a single yellow rose And for years to come You were the one To sleep with me at night To laugh and talk And share my thoughts And hold me when I'd cry And on every occasion And for no good reason to A big bouquet or a single yellow rose Was sent from you Yellow roses The color of sunshine You loved me at one time Why did you have to go Yellow roses Are you sending your new love My bright yellow rose buds I still love you so I never see a yellow rose That I didn't think of you It's still my favorite flower Though the yellow's turned to blue The day you left my teardrops fell Upon your farewell not You said goodbye like you said hello With a single yellow rose Yellow roses The color of sunshine You loved me at one time Why did you have to go Yellow roses Are you sending your new love My bright yellow rose buds Oh I still love you so Yellow roses The color of sunshine You loved me at one time Why did you have to go Sweet yellow roses Are you sending your new love My bright yellow rose buds I still love you so
