Words and Music by Jud Strunk



He remembers the first time he met 'er

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 singin

'

Honey has somethin' gone wrong

He remembers the fun and the teasin

'

And the reason he wrote 'er this song



CHORUS

I'll give you a daisy a day

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 evenin

'

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 eye



As a kid they would take me for candy

And I loved to go taggin' along

We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner

And the old man would sing 'er his song



CHORUS



Now he walks down the street in the evenin

'

And he stops by the old candy store

And I somehow believe he's believin

'

He's holdin' 'er hand like before



For he feels all her love walkin' with him

And he smiles at the things she might say

Then the old man walks up to the hilltop

And gives her a daisy a day



CHORUS
