Second Handed Flowers
Lyricist:Tom T. Hall
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 some 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 the line Some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They explained that Susie had been in an awful crash The doctors said that she had just a little while to last
When I walked into her room I felt the 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 for 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 flower [unverified]
