      C           C/B           Am          Am/G
He remembers the first time he met her,

       F          Fdim             C
He remembers the first thing she said

       F          Fm            C         C/B
He remembers the first time he held her,

          D             D7          G
And the night that she came to his bed.

      C           C/B          Am          Am/G       
He remembers her sweet way of singing,

 F             Fdim          C
"Honey, has something gone wrong?"

       F          Fm           C        C/B
He remembers the fun and the teasing,

         C          G              C          G
And the reason her wrote her this song.
     

Refrain:  

C               C/B      Am            Am/G
I'll give you a daisy a day, dear, 

      F         Fdim     C
I'll give you a daisy a day;

      F         Fm       C     C/B  Am
I'll love you until the rivers run still 

         C              G          C   -  G
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 loved to go tagging along;
We'd hold hands while we walked to the corner,
And the old man would sing her this song.

Repeat Refrain:

Now he walks down the street in the evening,
And he stops by the old candy store,
And I somehow believe he's believin'
He's holding her 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.

Repeat Refrain:
