I was buying some flowers on a morning in may
When a small child came by
And this she did say can you spare me a little
That's all that i ask just a little
Is all that i need a little
Is all that i need well
I knelt down beside her and held out the flowers
And told her to chose any one
There were bright yellow roses
And sweet violets but a daisy is all
That she chose a daisy is all
That she chose.
When i asked her, her name and if she could explain
Why a daisy was all that she wanted the tears filled
Her eyes and she started to cry
She said a daisy reminds me of mama,
A daisy reminds me of mama.
Mama said heaven has streets that are golden
And sweet angels singing dressed in white,
So you see this small daisy reminds me of mama
For mama 's in heaven to night...
Music...
Mama said heaven has streets that are golden
And sweet angels singing dressed in white
So you see this small daisy reminds me of mama
For mamas in heaven to night my mamas sleeping in heaven to night.
