FIELD OF YELLOW DAISIES
(Margaret A. Rich)


Charlie Rich - 1965
Tom Jones - 1966





We met in a field of yellow daisies
Wild and young and free
And she picked a bouquet for me

She loved me, she loved me not
The daisies didn't lie
They knew better than I
She'd go away, yeah
But they didn't say why

Have you ever been in a field of yellow daisies
Where the air is warm, pure and sweet
Just as if the world is at your feet

She loved me, she loved me not
The daisies didn't lie
They knew better than I
She'd go away, yeah
But they didn't say why

I may fail like petals from a daisy
But for her love I'll always yearn
Each year when yellow daisies return

She loved me, she loved me not
The daisies didn't lie
They knew better than I
She'd go away, yeah
But they didn't say why (They didn't say why)
They didn't say why  (They didn't say why)
They didn't say why    
They didn't say why  (They didn't say why)
They didn't say why  (They didn't say why)
They didn't..........FADE
