Second Handed Flowers
I was working in miami for a day or two I decided i'd look up a girl that i once knew I bought some flowers and went to see a girl i used to know The lady at her door said she had married long ago
Times will change and towns will change; there i was alone And suddenly i wondered, 'would susie be at home?' So with the flowers in my hand, i walked toward her gate Someone touched me on the arm and said, 'you'll have to wait.'
Then i noticed there were people standing in a line And some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine They explained that susie had been in an awful crash Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Doctors said that she had just a little while to last
When i walked into her room, i felt a sense of shame But i heard susie whisper, 'i'm awfully glad you came.' She had been the girl that i had always gone to see When someone that i cared for had been untrue to me
I handed her the flowers and she gently kissed my hand She said, 'don't be embarrassed; you know i understand.' I said, 'goodbye' and as i bent to kiss her fevered brow I heard her whisper, 'thank you for the second handed flowers.'
