Jackie DeShannon - Little Yellow Roses lyrics
[Jackie DeShannon - Little Yellow Roses lyrics]
This is the life that I have chose
I must keep running until I fold
I can't live with the lies that
Some people have told
Send my mother a lock of my hair
Send my father the ribbons he gave me
Tell them I hate it to say "Fare thee well"
But I can't live with lies
That some people tell
Why can't the world be
Like little yellow roses?
Lies they don't know, truth only they grow
I've always believed all men are equal
Whatever color, religion or land
I can't stand still and watch it destroyed
So, I'll keep running 'til
It's forever banned
Send my mother a lock of my hair
Send my father the ribbons he gave me
Tell them I hate it to say "Fare thee well"
But I can't live with lies some people tell
Oh, why can't the world be
Like little yellow roses?
Lies they don't know, truth only they grow
