C                      F            C
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
