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
