When I awoke this morning, imagine my surprise
On my pillow lay a single yellow rose
I smiled but when I read the card
The teardrops filled my eyes
It was the only way that you could say goodbye

You couldn't tell me to my face
That you had found another
And it never crossed my mind you'd be untrue
So, today as I lay sleeping you left me here alone
And you said goodbye with a single yellow rose

INST

Did you know that yellow roses mean
You'll love someone forever
And did you know they say forever I'll be true
Why did you have to go astray,
Leave and throw our love away
Why did you leave a single yellow rose

You couldn't tell me to my face
That you had found another
And it never crossed my mind you'd be untrue
So, today as I lay sleeping you left me here alone
And you said goodbye with a single yellow rose
Yes, you said goodbye with a single yellow rose
