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 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 their love that was more than
the clothes that they wore
could 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
holding hands while we walked to the corner
and the old man would sing her his song
"i'll give you a daisy a day dear..."
[ steel ]
Now he walks down the street in the evening
and he stops by the old candy store
and i somehow believe he's believing
that 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
