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
