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
