Yellow RosesDolly Parton

Songwriter: Dolly Parton

Producer: Ricky Skaggs

"Hello," you said the day we met
Handing me a yellow rose
You asked me out and to your surprise
And to mine, I said I'd go
I thought it so romantic
And I found you sweet and bold
Though we'd only met
I still said yes to a single yellow rose

And for years to come, you were the one
To sleep with me at night
To laugh and talk and share my thoughts
And hold me when I'd cry
And on every rare occasion
And for no good reason too
A big bouquet or a single yellow rose
Was sent from you

Yellow roses
The color of sunshine
You loved me at one time
Why did you have to go?
Yellow roses
Are you sending your new love
My bright yellow rose buds?
I still love you so

I never see a yellow rose
That I don't think of you
It's still my favorite flower
Though the yellows turned to blue
The day you left, my teardrops fell
Upon your farewell note
You said goodbye like you said hello
With a single yellow rose

Yellow roses
The color of sunshine
You loved me at one time
Why did you have to go?
Yellow roses
Are you sending your new love
My bright yellow rose buds?
I still love you so

Yellow roses
The color of sunshine
You loved me at one time
Why did you have to go?
Yellow roses
Are you sending your new love
My bright yellow rose buds?
I still love you so

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
