He remembers the first time he met her,
He remembered the first thing she said.
He remembered the first time he held her,
And the first night she came to his bed.
He remembers her sweet way of saying,
Honey has something gone wrong.
He remembered the fun and the teasing,
And the reason he wrote her 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 there love was more than the clothes that they wore,
Could be seen in the gleam in their eyes.
As a kid they would take me for candy,
And I’d love to go tagging along,
We’d hold hands while we walked to the corner,
And the old man would sing her 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.
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 her 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 he 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.
