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 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 line
And some of them were holding pretty flowers, just like mineTom T. Hall - Second Handed Flowers - http://motolyrics.com/tom-t-hall/second-handed-flowers-lyrics.html
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 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"
