Hootie & The Blowfish - Tootie lyrics

You put a rose in my hand Put a dollar in my pocket But you don't understand How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night I see the morning but you won't see the light I thought about you for a long, long time I wrote about you but my words don't seem to rhyme And now you're lying here But my heart still beats for you Had a dream about you You sat right down beside me And you told me we were through It was all so real and you told me reasons why You brought me to the window And you taught me how to fly I thought about you for a long, long time I said i love you but we just don't have the time And now you're lying here But my heart still beats for you I thought to hold you for a long, long time You said i love you but my heart won't seem to chime in And now you're lying here And my heart still beats for you...i'm trying, and my heart still beats for you
