George Jones - Second Handed Flowers lyrics

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 some 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 the line Some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine They explained that Susie had been in an awful crash The doctors said that she had just a little while to last When I walked into her room I felt the 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 embarra**ed for 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 flower
