Daisy A Day
by Jud Strunk 1973
G D G G7
He remembers the first time he met her
C Cdim7 G
He remembers the first thing she said
C G
He remembers the first time he held her
A D
And the night that she came to his bed
G D G G7
He remembers her sweet way of saying
C Cdim7 G
Honey has something gone wrong
C G
He remembers the fun and the teasing
D G G7
And the reason he wrote her this song
G D G G7
I'll give you a daisy a day dear,
C Cdim7 G
I'll give you a daisy a day
C G B Em
I'll love you until the rivers run still
G D G G7
And the four winds we know blow away
G D G G7
They would walk down the street in the evening
C Cdim7 G
And for years I would see them go by
C G
And their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
A D G7
Could be seen in the gleam of their eye
G D G G7
As a kid they would take me for candy
C Cdim7 G
And I loved to go tagging along
C G
We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner
D G G7
And the old man would sing her his song
G D G G7
I'll give you a daisy a day dear,
C Cdim7 G
I'll give you a daisy a day
C G B Em
I'll love you until the rivers run still
G D G G7
And the four winds we know blow away
G D G G7
Now he walks down the street in the evening
C Cdim7 G
And he stops by the old CanDy store
C G
And I somehow believe he's believing
A D
He's holding her hand like before
G D G G7
For he feels all her love walking with him
C Cdim7 G
And he smiles at the things she might say
C G
Then the old man walks up to the hilltop
G D G G7
And gives her a daisy a day
G D G G7
I'll give you a daisy a day dear,
C Cdim7 G
I'll give you a daisy a day
C G E Am
I'll love you until the rivers run still
G D G
And the four winds we know blow away
