Yellow Roses

She thought…
Why would he send yellow roses on our anniversary?
Her hands were shakin’, she reached for the card…
but held on to her heart.

And she worried…
Could it be… he’s had enough of married life with me?
Could this be his way to say, “This is the end, 
I love you… but just as a friend.”

Chorus 1:     
The card said, “I love you.”               
But she braced herself wonderin' what was in store.
She read it again it said, “I love you.”
But yellow roses say so much more.
Yellow roses say so much more.
Yellow roses say so much more.

Then she heard their song
and turned to see that he was there all along.
He held a rose up to her cheek, 
but her knees went weak, when he struggled to speak.

Chorus 2:     
His eyes said, “I love you.”
But she braced herself for what was in store.
She read them again they said, “I love you.”
But yellow roses say so much more.
Yellow roses say so much more.

He said, “You know I love you, I’ll love you till the end. 
But I need you to know you’re my best friend.”

Chorus 3:     
They both whispered, “I love you”
Then embraced and smiled knowin’ their love was pure.
With tears in their eyes they said, “I love you.”
Now yellow roses say so much more.
Yellow roses say so much more.

She thought…
That’s why he sent yellow roses on our anniversary.
