Tootie

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 lightI thought about you for a long, long time

I wrote about you

But the words don't seem to rhyme

And now you're lying here

But my heart still beats for youI 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 flyI 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
