A Single Yellow Rose
(written by Mike Bryant)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Musical Break)
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
(Chorus)
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
