The Daisy

by Wayne Hicks

She walked along the Riverside, the fall leaves blowing by,

And stopped beside a small cascade, where a flower caught her eye,

And as the petals fall she whispered that old rhyme,

He loves me, loves me not, which one wins this time?

(Chorus)

And who would believe that a daisy after all,

Could heal a broken heart by letting petals fall,

She walked along the Riverside and silently she cried,

If just one petal had remained her hopes might not have died,

But as the rhyme went round those petals blew away,

Until the last one softly fell, he loves me not today,

(Chorus)

And who would believe that a daisy after all,

Could heal a broken heart by letting petals fall,

She walked along the Riverside, her heart lost in despair,

And almost missed the whispered sound of another lost heart there,

She stood beside the willow tree and watched the lonely man,

And listened as he whispered to the Daisy in his hand,

(Chorus)

And who would believe that a daisy after all,

Could heal a broken heart by letting petals fall,

[Outro]

She walked along the Riverside, and a flower caught her eye…
