(Jud Strunk)

 

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 saying

Honey has something gone wrong

He remembers the fun and the teasin'

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 their love that was more than the clothes that they wore

Would be seen in the gleam of their eyes.



As a kid they would take me for candy

And I'd love to go tagging along

He hold hands while as we walked to the corner

And the old man would sing her 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 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...
