Second Handed Flowers Lyrics

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 mineGeorge Huff - Second Handed Flowers - http://motolyrics.com/george-huff/second-handed-flowers-lyrics.html
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 embarased 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
