A Single Yellow Rose
written and recorded by Isla Grant
G C G
When I awoke this morning imagine my surprise
D7
On my pillow lay a single yellow rose
G
I smiled but when I read the card
C G
The teardrops filled my eyes
D7 G
It was the only way that you could say goodbye
C
You couldn't tell me to my face
G
That you had found another
D7
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
D7
And did ya know they'd say forever I'll be true
G
Why did you have to go astray
C
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
