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
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.";
