Lyrics

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
