[Verse 2]

As I'm falling

 for him more 

and more,

The more it'll

 hurt the day 

he leaves
            
And when I hea

              
r his voice it

         
's like it's s

traight out of

 a dream
             
I would do thi

              
ngs for him th

   
at completely 

messes my rout

ine
             
so even just f

              
or a minute it

  
'd feel like h

e's right next

 to me

             
I would take t

              
ime out of bus

       
y days so I co

uld hear his l

augh
            
listen to his 

              
favorite songs

       
 while staring

 at his photog

raph
             
I needed him, 

              
I wanted him, 

        
right person b

ut wrong time
             
and on Septemb

              
er 9, the tele

   
phone cord cut

 the line

             
but you said i

            
t yourself, fl

owers from 197

0 
            
couldn't last 

              
that long and 


you were my fl

ower
             
and for one la

              
st time I said


 "goodbye old 

man" 
             
you said "you 

              
take care of t

       
hose flowers, 

wrong number."

When I’m Talki
