Have You Seen The Girl With Yellow Roses

Counting Crows · Other Songs - Counting Crows

She was only seventeen and I was twenty-one

Chasing dreams we left Topeka following the sun

We were kids still growing up with rainbows in our mind

So off we went into the world not knowing what we'd find

The first few days were filled with fun and laughing her and I

We'd stop from place to place to try the good times on for size

She always wore a yellow rose to show her love for me

A yellow rose so everyone could see

Have you seen the girl with yellow roses in her hair

She's as pretty as could be

She always wears a yellow rose so everyone can see

She always wears a yellow rose for me

Now the days have past so quickly and the living got so rough

Suddenly we found we couldn't live just on our love

Just two kids alone with thought of Kansas in our mind

Thinking of the families loving arms we left behind

Of each new day I found that we grew more and more apart

Though she tried to cling to me with love still in her heart

Then one day I hurt her like a fool I made her cry

I noticed that the yellow rose had died

Have you seen the girl with yellow roses in her hair

Help me find her won't you please

She always wore a yellow rose so everyone could see

She always wore a yellow rose for me
