You put a rose in my hand
Put a dollar in my pocket
You don't understand
Now the days grow longer,
The sky is black at night
I see the mornin, but you don't see the light

I've thought about you for a long long time
I wrote about you , but the words don't seem too right
Now your lying here, but my heart still beats for you

I 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

Brought me to the window, and you taught me how to fly
I thought about you for a long long time
I said I loved you but we just dont have the time
Now you're lying here, but my heart still beats for you

I thought I'd hold you for a long long time,
You said I love you, but my heart won't seem to shine
and now you're lying here, and my heart still beats for you

Ohh, I'm trying, and my heart still beats for you
