Introduction

Imagine sitting by the window on a rainy afternoon, a warm cup of tea in hand, and a melody humming softly in the background. That’s the intimate, almost nostalgic feeling “A Single Yellow Rose” evokes. It’s a song that wraps around you like a gentle hug from an old friend, comforting yet tinged with a hint of melancholy.

“A Single Yellow Rose” isn’t just a piece of music; it’s an emotional journey. The song tells the story of a lone yellow rose, left on a doorstep—a symbol of friendship and care, but also of parting and solitude. Its lyrics weave a delicate tapestry of love, memory, and the quiet sadness of missing someone who’s no longer there. The melody complements this sentiment perfectly, with soft guitar strings and a lilting piano that make your heart swell and ache in equal measure.

What makes this song truly special, though, is its universal appeal. It taps into the deep-seated emotions we’ve all felt: the joy of cherished memories and the sorrow of inevitable farewells. It’s the kind of song that makes you reflect on the past, ponder the present, and hope for the future, all in a few short minutes.

This song could easily find its place in history as a poignant reminder of the beauty and pain of human connections. It’s not just about the lyrics or the melody but the way it makes you feel—seen, understood, and a little less alone.

So next time you’re feeling nostalgic or just need a moment to pause and feel, let “A Single Yellow Rose” be your companion. It’s more than a song; it’s a friend, a memory, a whisper of the past that speaks directly to the soul.

Lyrics

When I awoke this mornin’
Imagine my surprise
On my pillow lay a single yellow rose
I smiled but when I read the card
The teardrops filled my eyes
It was the only way that you could say goodbye

You couldn’t tell me to my face
That you had found another
And it never crossed my mind you’d be untrue
So today as I lay sleepin’
You left me here alone
And you said goodbye
With a single yellow rose

Did ya know that yellow roses mean you love someone forever
And did ya know they’d say forever I’ll be true
Why did you have to go astray
Leave, and throw our love away
Why did you leave a single yellow rose

You couldn’t tell me to my face
That you had found another
And it never crossed my mind you’d be untrue
So today as I lay sleepin’
You left me here alone
And you said goodbye with a single yellow rose
