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
  
  Chorus:
  
  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
  
  Chorus:
  
  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
