A Single Yellow Rose
written and recorded by Isla Grant
GWhen I awoke this morning Cimagine my Gsurprise
On my pillow lay a single yellow D7rose
GI smiled but when I read the card
The Cteardrops filled my Geyes
It was the only way D7that you could say Ggoodbye
CYou couldn't tell me to my face
GThat you had found another
And it never crossed my mind you'd be D7untrue
GSo today as I lay sleeping you Cleft me here Galone
And you said goodbye with a D7single yellow Grose
Did ya know that yellow roses mean you Clove someone Gforever
And did ya know they'd say forever I'll be D7true
GWhy did you have to go astray
CLeave and throw our love away
GWhy did you leave a D7single yellow Grose
Yes you said goodbye with a D7single yellow Grose

G C G

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

D7 G

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

G C G

So today as I lay sleeping you left me here alone

D7 G

And you said goodbye with a single yellow rose

C G

Did ya know that yellow roses mean you love someone forever

And did ya know they'd say forever I'll be true

Why did you have to go astray

Leave and throw our love away

G D7 G

Why did you leave a single yellow rose

D7 G

Yes you said goodbye with a single yellow rose
