I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses,
C D7 G7
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through.
C C7 F
You tell me that, tonight your heart is broken,
C G7 C
But you should know, I was never untrue.
F
I'll place them near your photograph,
C
And as the petals fall,
D7
They'll hide from you my lonely tears,
G7
That shouldn't fall at all.
C C7 F
Then they will slowly fade away and die,
C G7 C
But I'll still love you, though yellow roses say "goodbye."
