Brian Suavé - Daphne's Song lyrics
[Brian Suavé - Daphne's Song lyrics]
She’s a willow-wand with sunshine hair
Cider-sweet like sweet-pine air
Little roses sitting on her blush-wine cheeks
She’s laughter ringing in
The thin-aired peaks
See her running heath and up the hill
Wingèd, flying down past the mill
Daffadowndilly, all yellow-white
Zephyr-riding, wingèd sprite
Oh, Daphne are you gonna break my heart?
And make me and make me give you away?
Oh, Daphne when I held you there
You stole me oh, you stole me all away
Now she’s sittin’ careless on
The kitchen floor
Watching mama, gonna pitch in more
And she’s singing treble like a winter wren
Silver clear ’til the last amen
Wearing mama’s apron, mama’s mien
And mama’s eyes, all laurel green
With her prettiest dress, all floral lace
And mama’s smile there on her face
Oh, Daphne are you gonna break my heart?
And make me and make me give you away?
Oh, Daphne when I held you there
You stole me oh, you stole me all away
Oh, no don’t grow too fast or leave too soon
My little girl but when you do, know
You take my love wherever you go
Oh, no don’t grow too fast or leave too soon
My little girl but when you do, know
You take my love wherever you go
Wherever you go oh, wherever you go
Oh, Daphne oh, Daphne
Oh, Daphne you stole me all away
You stole me all away
Cider-sweet like sweet-pine air
Little roses sitting on her blush-wine cheeks
She’s laughter ringing in
The thin-aired peaks
See her running heath and up the hill
Wingèd, flying down past the mill
Daffadowndilly, all yellow-white
Zephyr-riding, wingèd sprite
Oh, Daphne are you gonna break my heart?
And make me and make me give you away?
Oh, Daphne when I held you there
You stole me oh, you stole me all away
Now she’s sittin’ careless on
The kitchen floor
Watching mama, gonna pitch in more
And she’s singing treble like a winter wren
Silver clear ’til the last amen
Wearing mama’s apron, mama’s mien
And mama’s eyes, all laurel green
With her prettiest dress, all floral lace
And mama’s smile there on her face
Oh, Daphne are you gonna break my heart?
And make me and make me give you away?
Oh, Daphne when I held you there
You stole me oh, you stole me all away
Oh, no don’t grow too fast or leave too soon
My little girl but when you do, know
You take my love wherever you go
Oh, no don’t grow too fast or leave too soon
My little girl but when you do, know
You take my love wherever you go
Wherever you go oh, wherever you go
Oh, Daphne oh, Daphne
Oh, Daphne you stole me all away
You stole me all away
