A Single Yellow Rose Lyrics

There's a marker on a piece of ground

On that marker, a name I've known so well

Beside the marker, there lies a single yellow rose

I place it there this time once a year

To let her know, I'm thinking of her still

It's for my mama

That I place this single yellow rose

Oh, a single yellow rose to mark the memory

In remembrance of the one

Who filled our home so full of life

So many years she has been gone now

But all her love's still in my heart

And it's just this single yellow rose

To mark the spot

I feel her presence in that old home place

And it's her presence

That gives my life such grace

It's that presence

That makes me feel she's still around

I wasn't there, to say my last goodbye

And it still haunts me

Not being by her side

As I leave a single yellow rose

These tears I cry

Oh, a single yellow rose to mark the memory

In remembrance of the one

Who filled our home so full of life

So many years she has been gone now

But all her love's still in my heart

And it's just this single yellow rose

To mark the spot

So many years she has been gone now

But all her love's still in my heart

And it's just this single yellow rose

To mark the spot
