Second Handed Flowers - George Jones

作词：mit Sayin

作曲：T/T/ Hall

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 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
