KEY OF A 4/4 TIME
TEMPO = ADANTE (80)
Intro: mandolin lick
Start verse beat 4 measure 6
On the night that you asked me
To be your life long mate
I knew in my heart
That our love was only fate
The tenderness you showed me
As you bent down on one knee
It took my breath away
As you said these words to me
(Chorus)
Buttercups and daisies
Are what I picked for you
I picked them for you on this day
For words I have few
Buttercups and daisies, I love you
Break: mandolin lick
Start verse beat 4 measure 25
We cherished each and everyday
As together our lives grew
We fill our life with happiness
Making everyday brand new
The tenderness in your eyes
When I told you the news
It took your breath away
As I said these words to you
(Chorus)
Buttercups and daisies
Are what I picked for you
I picked them for you on this day
For words I have few
Buttercups and daisies, I love you
Break: mandolin lick
Start verse beat 4 measure 44
A child came into our lives
As we cried the whole night through
With tears of joy and happiness
As our little family grew
The tenderness in her eyes
Was a gift she got from you
It took our breath away
As she spoke these words so true
(Chorus)
Buttercups and daisies
Are what I picked for you
I picked them for you on this day
For words I have few
Buttercups and daisies, I love you
(Repeat chorus starts measure 64 and end “Buttercups and Daisies, I love you” measure 72)
