Daisy A Day

(album: A Legend And His Lady - 1980)

He remembers the first time he met 'er
He remembers the first thing she said
He remembers the first time he held her
And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of singing
Honey has something gone wrong?
He remembers the fun and the teasing
And the reason he wrote 'er this song I'll give you a daisy a day
Dear I'll give you a daisy a day I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

They would walk down the street in the evening
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam of their eye
As a kid they would take me for candy
And I loved to go tagging along
We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner
And the old man would sing 'er his song I'll give you a daisy a day
Dear I'll give you a daisy a day I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away

Now he walks down the street in the evening
And he stops by the old candy store
And I somehow believe he's believing
He's holding 'er hand like before
For he feels all her love walking with him
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hilltop
And gives her a daisy a day I'll give you a daisy a day
Dear I'll give you a daisy a day I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away
