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.
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
They would walk down the street
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
And the old man would sing her his
Now he walks down the street
And he stops by the old candy store
He's holdin' her hand like before
For he feels all her love
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
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away.
