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
