A DAISY A DAY by 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 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 the love that was more
Than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen by the gleam of 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 her gives her a daisy a day

I'll give you a diasy 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 ^^^


We almost lost my mother two weeks ago and my dad was so upset he was almost speechless. She made it and she is still with us. I was reminded of this song...It is waltz tempo with a 1,4,5 progression...hg
