Dm F Dm F
F Dm F
I take such pride, my thoughts are sweet
Bb F C
When I think of you, and what you do for me
Dm F
But deep down inside my soul grows week
Bb F C
For our lives seem divide, incomplete
Am Bb F
I?m running full on affection, but I don?t know what to do
F C
So It?s with best intentions I?ll give you
[Refrão]Bb F
A yellow rose for the friendship
Am Bb
A dozen red for the passion
F C Dm
I?m gonna bind them together, in the best way I can fashion
Bb F C Bb
I need more then a lover, or more than just a friend
F
I need both of you together
C F
And I?m gonna give love to the end
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
Chorus
I?m running full on affection, but I don?t know what to do
So It?s with best intentions I?ll give you
Chorus
A yellow rose for the frienship
