Yellow Roses On Her Gown Lyrics - Johnny Mathis

I was born in San Fransisco when the bay was full of cruisers 

Where the west wind smells of fishing boats for fifty miles around 

My father wore a crew cut, he was lean and he was handsome 

And my mother wore a sash of yellow roses on her gown 

They would walk me down from Green Street 

Pass cathedrals on the hill sides 

And the carillons could fill the hearts of any one in town 

I remember how they looked then, when their eyes were always living 

When my father loved a girl with yellow roses on her gown

Then we moved to Placid County where the weather was a joker 

And I watched my parents laughter turn from amber into ice 

But my father never stumbled, he would tell me things would change soon 

He would bear and bear the insults of a pair of loaded dice 

And my mother stood beside him though her heart was on the hill side 

Of a city where a soldier and his lover better die 

And at night amid the whisper of the pines and [Incomprehensible] 

She would cry into the sash of yellow roses on her gown

Now my father's living eastward by the Sacramento river 

And he swears to me he's happy with his practice and some land 

In the springtime and the summer when the fog is off the valley 

I visit him on weekends, his grass is overgrown 

Sometimes after dinner, I will gaze away the evening 

In the attic at a sash of yellow roses on her gown
