Hello you said the day we met, handing me a yellow rose

I thought it so romantic, And I found you sweet and bold
D A7 D
Though we'd only met, I still said yes to a single yellow rose

And on every occasion and for no good reason too

A big bouquet or a single yellow rose was sent from you

My bright yellow rose buds, I still love you so
