A Daisy a Day
After talking to Jenny's mother on the phone earlier, I thought of this song - A Daisy a Day. It was one of Jenny's favourites and I helped track down a copy for her. I was especially thinking of Ron, her husband.

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:
CHORUS
"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 their love that was more than the clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam in 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 his song
CHORUS
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 he gives her a daisy a day
CHORUS
