I was working in Miami for a day or 2 I decided I'd look
                      G      C
up a girl that I once knew I bought some flowers and went
           F              C        F           C
to see the girl I used to know the lady at her door said
        G            C
she had married long ago. Times will change and towns
                F            C
will change and there I was alone suddenly I wondered
                 G       C
would Suzi be at home so with the flowers in my hand I
F                 C        F              C
walked toward her gate someone touched me on the arm and
G                   C
said you'll have to wait Then I noticed there were people 
F             C      
standing in a line some of them were holdin pretty flowers 
          G    C                                 F  
just like mine they explained that Suzi had been in an
      C     F                 C              G
awful crash doctors said that she had just a little while
   C                                   F
to last. When I walked into her room I felt a sense of 
C                                                   G
shame but I heard Suzi whisper I'm awfully glad you came 
C                           F             C       F
she had been the girl I had often gone to see whn someone
       C             G              C      
that I cared for had been untrue to me. I handed her the
                F                C        F
flowers and she gently kissed my hand she said don't be 
C                           G     C
embarrassed you know I understand I said goodbye and as I
        F               C      F                 C
bent to kiss her fevered brow I heard her whisper thank
            G             C
you for the second handed flowers.
