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 rare occasion

And for no good reason too

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 don’t think of you

It’s still my favorite flower

Though the yellows turned to blue

The day you left, my teardrops fell

Upon your farewell note

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?

I still love you so

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
