He met her one April year ago
D C
Lost his heart when he heard her say hello

Ask her daddy for her hand by May

By summers end, she held a lace bouquet
Em C G
Years have flown and they have grown older
Em C D
Though she feels as new as April when he holds her
[Chorus]

Daffodil, he calls her Daffodil

Hair as gold as sunshine

Eyes as green as mountain hills
G
He found her in the springtime

And love's blooming for them still

So, he calls her his lovely Daffodil

But her sunny smile still warms up his soul

Cause Father Time can't change his mind about her

She still looks as fresh as that pretty, yellow flower
