lyrics

Long ago and not so far away
I met a girl who stole my heart
I would do for her any dumb ol’ thing
If she’d be Becall to my Bogart

I wanted you and you wanted me
We thought that we were meant to be
Why didn’t make it my Daisy Gaye
I wrote it all down and made you this song
To show how I got it wrong
Why didn’t make it my Daisy Gaye

She thought that I was funny
And maybe just a little bit nuts
That’s ‘cause she drove me out of my mind
She told me my approach took more than a little guts
I said that’s the way I was designed

Some stuff’s best left a fantasy
Especially the stuff between you and me
We may have wilted like an old bouquet
But I still love you my Daisy Gaye
My Daisy Gaye, my Daisy Gaye, my sweet Daisy Gaye

Long ago and not so far away
I met a girl who stole my heart
I would do for her any dumb ol’ thing
If she’d be Josefine to my Bonaparte
