I was working in Miami for a day or two
F C G7
I decided I'd look up a girl that I once knew
C F C
I bought some flowers and went to see a girl I used to know
F C G7 C
The lady at her door said she had married long ago
F C
Times will change and towns will change but there I was alone
F C G7
When suddenly I wondered would Susie be at home
C F C
So with the flowers in my hand I walked toward her gate
F C G7 C
Someone touched me on the arm and said you'll have to wait
F C
Then I noticed there were people standing in a line
F C G7
Some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine
C F C
They explained that Susie had been in an awful crash
F C G7 C
Doctors said that she had just a little while to last
F C
When I walked into her room I felt the sense of shame
F C G7
But I heard Susie whisper I'm awfully glad you came
C F C
She had been the girl that I had always gone to see
F C G7 C
When someone that I cared for had been untrue to me
F C
I handed her the flowers and she gently kissed my hand
F C G7
She said don't be embarrassed for you know I understand
C F C
I said goodbye and as I bent to kiss her fevered brow
F C G7 C
I heard her whisper thank you for the second handed flowers
