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 were
 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
