Goodbye yellow roses Say goodbye to me Goodbye yellow roses Say goodbye to me 'Cause when the summer's gone We'll be pickin' through the weeds Goodbye yellow roses Say goodbye to me Goodbye yellow roses Say goodbye to me 'Cause when the summer's gone We'll be pickin' through the weeds Now the summer's gone Say goodbye to me Just sit back wasting Precious little time with me Just sit back wasting Just sit back wasting Precious little time with me Just sit back wasting Wasting away There was once a dream we shared Till the world began to turn Lay in beds of flowers as The weeds around us burned We had the time to breathe Now the summer's gone We'll be pickin' through the weeds On a cloudy day in August When the wind beneath us stirred In a field of yellow roses Our throughts could not be heard Won't you say goodbye to me
