The tall grass blows, in winds of spring
I ride my horse across the field
The sun will wake my winter heart
I stop beside the daffodils
They have come up again in this empty field
As they do each year in spring
And I wipe a tear as I wonder who
Laid them in this field of green
A hundred years have come and gone
And they still bloom here every spring
What remains beneath the sun
Reminds us now their souls are free
One day soon we’ll all be free
Once upon a sunny day
They laughed & loved atop this hill
A hard day’s work a warm embrace
And all that’s left are daffodils
The days go by spring comes and goes
I laugh & love & time stands still
But one day soon, I’ll be gone
And someone will find my daffodils
A hard day’s work, a warm embrace
We’ll laugh & love atop this hill
All we have that will remain
Are the yellow daffodils
Are the yellow daffodils
One day soon I will be free
When you find my daffodils
