[Andrew Lippa, Kate Baldwin , Norbert Leo Butz - Daffodils lyrics]
I was indentured to a traveling circus
Elephants and all i was shot out of a cannon
When they up and lost the ball
I met werewolves giants
Dancing bears if you don’t think it true
Then how on earth can you explain the road
That led me here to you?
Wait, are you the
Look, I saw you and all of time
In all the world stood still and I promise
I’ll prove my worth
I’ll roam the earth until you believe me
And we can be, at last forever one
Don’t be afraid be my crusade
But, you’re too late i’m
Engaged to be married
Tell me what I have to go and do
To make you change your mind
Anything I have to promise to
I’ll gladly get behind
I’m the man who you should marry
Your intended through and through
Otherwise I’d never walk the road
That led me here to you
Once a month a scrap of news
It felt like you were there once a month
I heard your voice i held you, solitaire
Amos said that you loved music
Said that you were college bound
But one thing more than all the rest
Filled the heart inside my chest:
He told me you loved daffodils
And countless as the stars that shine
They stretched in never ending line
‘Til all I saw was
Daffodils beside the lake, beneath the trees
All fluttering and dancing in the breeze
And like that moment right
Between asleep and waking
I thought I saw ten thousand strong
In one quick glance but when I saw your face
I knew beyond mistaking
A million flowers couldn’t stand a chance
So I’ll pretend the daffodils
Are just an introduction to
The blossoming of me and you beside the lake
Beneath the tree beyond mistake
Please marry me please marry me
But, you hardly know me!
I have the rest of my life to find out
These, and these these, and these
These are for you only for you
Let’s build a world of daffodils
That never fades and never dies
I see the answer in your eyes
You’ll be the bride i’ll be the bride
I’ll be the groom you’ll be the groom
A daffodil in every room
And I will shower you with flowers
Or my name isn’t Edward
Bloom
Elephants and all i was shot out of a cannon
When they up and lost the ball
I met werewolves giants
Dancing bears if you don’t think it true
Then how on earth can you explain the road
That led me here to you?
Wait, are you the
Look, I saw you and all of time
In all the world stood still and I promise
I’ll prove my worth
I’ll roam the earth until you believe me
And we can be, at last forever one
Don’t be afraid be my crusade
But, you’re too late i’m
Engaged to be married
Tell me what I have to go and do
To make you change your mind
Anything I have to promise to
I’ll gladly get behind
I’m the man who you should marry
Your intended through and through
Otherwise I’d never walk the road
That led me here to you
