(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…
