A face in the crowd on your wedding day
You tossed me a rose bud from your bridal bouquet
No one seemed to notice no one wondered why
When you pledged your love to me there was tears in my eyes

A face in the crowd with a pale yellow rose
Your gown of white satin, my falf worn out clothes
I knew your love one time but your love now he holds
I'm a face in the crowd with a pale yellow rose

As your friends they all kissed you, I heard someone say
That man with a rose bud from your bridal bouquet
Was he kinda special or was he just a friend
I heard you speak softly he's only a friend

* Refrain
