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
