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 
 
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
