    Goodbye Yellow Rose

    The seasons came full circle
    When her winter finally came
    She struggled through her Autumn
    But it's storms she could not tame

    ...Now she has a mansion
    Sitting high upon a hill
    Where she can watch her family
    And rest there in the still

    There she'll sing the old, old songs
    That lulled you into dreams
    And recite your favorite nursery ryhmes
    sent down on bright moon beams
