I take such pride my thoughts are sweet
When I think of you and what you do for me
But deep down inside my soul grows weak
For our lives seem divided incomplete
I'm running full on affection but I don't know what to do
So it's with best intentions I'll give you
A yellow rose for the friendship a dozen red for the passion
I'm gonna bind them together in the best way I can fashion
I need more than a lover or more than just a friend
I need both of you together and I'm gonna give love to the end
[ guitar ]
Deep in your eyes a sea of green oh it's hard to imagine a love so deep
For these tears I cry flow like a stream for a love once pure gone poison mean
A yellow rose for the friendship...
[ fiddle ]
I'm running full affection but I don't know what to do
So it's with best intentions I'll give you
A yellow rose for the friendship...
A yellow rose for the friendship a dozen red for the passion
