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 the words don't seem to rhyme (words don't seem to rhyme)
And now, you're 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
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 got no time" (just don't got no 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" (heart won't seem to chime in)
And now, you're lying here
And my heart still beats for you
Oooh, I'm trying
And my heart still beats for you
