Second Handed Flowers
Tom T Hall

 C                      F            C
I was working in Miami for a day or two
                                         G7
I decided I'd look up a girl that I once knew
     C                                     F             C
I bought some flowers and went to see the 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 and there I was alone
                                      G7
Suddenly I wondered would Suzi 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 
                                                   G7
Some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine
  C                               F             C  
They explained that Suzi 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 a sense of shame
                                               G7
But I heard Suzi whisper I'm awfully glad you came
  C                         F              C  
She had been the girl I had often 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 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
