0:16Hello you said the day we met
0:20Handing me a yellow rose
0:24You asked me out
0:27And to your surprise
0:29And to mine I said I'd go
0:33I thought it so romantic
0:36And I found you sweet and bold
0:41Though we'd only met
0:43I still said yes
0:46To a single yellow rose
0:51And for years to come
0:54You were the one
0:56To sleep with me at night
1:00To laugh and talk
1:02And share my thoughts
1:05And hold me when I'd cry
1:09And on every occasion
1:12And for no good reason to
1:17A big bouquet or a single yellow rose
1:22Was sent from you
1:27Yellow roses
1:30The color of sunshine
1:35You loved me at one time
1:39Why did you have to go
1:44Yellow roses
1:47Are you sending your new love
1:51My bright yellow rose buds
1:56I still love you so
2:02I never see a yellow rose
2:07That I didn't think of you
2:10It's still my favorite flower
2:14Though the yellow's turned to blue
2:18The day you left my teardrops fell
2:23Upon your farewell not
2:27You said goodbye like you said hello
2:31With a single yellow rose
2:36Yellow roses
2:40The color of sunshine
2:45You loved me at one time
2:51Why did you have to go
2:53Yellow roses
2:57Are you sending your new love
3:01My bright yellow rose buds
3:05Oh I still love you so
3:10Yellow roses
3:14The color of sunshine
3:18You loved me at one time
3:22Why did you have to go
3:27Sweet yellow roses
3:31Are you sending your new love
3:36My bright yellow rose buds
3:39I still love you so
3:42♪
