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 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
