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
