A face in the crowd on your wedding day You tossed me a rosebud from your bridal bouquet No one seemed to notice no one wondered why When you pledged your love to him there were tears in my eyes A face in the crowd with a pale yellow rose Your gown of white satin my half-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 The man with the rosebud from your bridal bouquet Was he kind of special or was he just a friend I heard you speak softly he was only a friend
