Weeds And Wildflowers

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 matters

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 love

She's a painted daisy

I'm the blue grass underneath

She's all faith and I'm a 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 gotta be a preacher

I want 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 love

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 mountside

Mistyeyed I couldn't help but notice all the daisies

As they layed her in the earth

He said

I'm a dandelion

She was my buttercup

I'm the clover, she will always be my love

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
