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.
