He said I know I'm not the man that he imagined for his daughter
I'm not what he had in mind
He said her daddy probably dreamed about some lawyer or a doctor
But I never was that kind
We were in love and that's all that matter
You know her heart was all that I was after; he said
I'm a dandelion, she?s a buttercup
I'm the clover, she's the luck
She?s a painted daisy, I?m the blue grass underneath
She?s all faith and I?m the doubter
She?s the sweet and I?m the sour
We?re like weeds and wildflowers
He said I asked her back in 62 if she?d be mine forever
Let?s run away and go to Vegas
She said I wanna be your wife but there has got to be a preacher
I wan?t all of God?s angels to see us
We rolled the dice on life and made it
If there?s a storm inside we faced it
And he said
I'm a dandelion, she?s a buttercup
I'm the clover, she's the luck
She?s a painted daisy, I?m the blue grass underneath
She?s all faith and I?m the doubter
She?s the sweet and I?m the sour
We?re like weeds and wildflowers
He said just last fall
Heaven called and the preacher asked if I would stand before the
ground and say a few last words
And on the mountainside, Mistyeyed I couldn?t help but notice
all the Daisies as they layer her in the earth
He said
I'm a dandelion, she was my buttercup
I'm the clover, she will always be my luck
Now I'm going crazy, yeah she was my everything
She had faith, now I'm without her
Oh, our love goes on forever
How I long to be beside her
Just like weeds and wildflowers
