Twelve yellow roses
Held in my hand for thee
Twelve yellow roses
You didn't take them from me
All of my life
I had been alone
Then I met you boy
And you said let's go home
Twelve yellow roses
Held in my hand for thee
Twelve yellow roses
You didn't take them from me
Saw you a long time ago
Then I fell in love
You looked and smiled at me
I thanked the stars above
Twelve yellow roses
Held in my hand for thee
Twelve yellow roses
You didn't take them from me
We shared those Summer days
Then Autumn cooled your heart
We struggled through the Winter
In Springtime, fell apart
