OOPS 06 A
Daisy A Day
Jud Strunk © 1972
He remembers the first time he met her,
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 sayin'
"Honey has somethin' gone wrong?"
He remembers the fun and the teasin'
And the reason he wrote her this song.
Chorus
I'll give you a daisy a day, dear, I'll give you a daisy a day.
I'll love you till the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away.
They would walk down the street in the evenin',
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'd love to go taggin' along,
We'd walk holding hands to the corner
And the old man would sing her his song.
Now he walks down the street in the evenin'
And he stops by the old candy store,
And I somehow believe he's believin'
He's holdin' her hand like before.
For he feels all her love walkin' with him
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hill top
And gives her a daisy a day.
