I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses 
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through 
You tell me that tonight your heart is broken 
But you should know, I was never untrue 


I'll place them near your photograph 
And as the petals fall 
They'll hide from you my lonely tears 
That shouldn't fall at all 


Then they will slowly fade away and die 
But I'll still love you
Though yellow roses say "Goodbye"
