A FACE IN THE CROWD


A

A FACE IN THE CROWD ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
YOU TOSSED ME A ROSEBUD FROM YOUR WEDDING BOQUET
NO ONE SEEMED TO NOTICE NO ONE WONDERED WHY
AS YOU PLEDGED YOUR LOVE TO HIM THERE WERE TEARS IN MY EYES

CH 
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 HE NOW HOLDS
I'M A FACE IN THE CROWD WITH A PALE YELLOW ROSE

AS YOUR FRIENDS GATHERED ROUND YOU I HEARD SOMEONE SAY
THAT MAN WITH A ROSEBUD FROM YOUR BRIDAL BOQUET
WAS HE SOMEONE SPECIAL OR WAS HE JUST A FRIEND
I HEARD YOU SPEAK SOFTLY HE WAS ONLY A FRIEND
