Tootie

You put a rose in my hand

Put a dollar in my pocket

You don't understand

Now the days grow longer,

The sky is black at night

I see the mornin, but you don't see the light.



I've thought about you for a long long time

I wrote about you , but the words don't seem too right

Now your 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.



Brought me to the window, and you taught me how to fly.

I thought about you for a long long time.

I said I loved you but we just dont have the time

Now you're lying here, but my heart still beats for you.



I thought I'd hold you for a long long time,

You said I love you, but my heart won't seem to shine

and now you're lying here, and my heart still beats for you



Ohh, I'm trying, and my heart still beats for you...
