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
