tom t hall - second handed flowers lyrics

Loading...

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
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 embarr-ssed; 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.”
