Send "Secondhanded Flowers" Ringtone to Cell

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 a 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."
