🎵 A Nod to Nostalgia: “Daisy a Day”
The song “Daisy a Day” was written and performed by American folk artist Jud Strunk and released in 1973. A heartfelt ballad, it tells the story of lifelong love and devotion, with the narrator giving his sweetheart a daisy every day—right up until her passing.
“I’ll give you a daisy a day, dear / I’ll give you a daisy a day / I’ll love you until the rivers run still / And the four winds we know blow away.”
The song’s gentle melody and touching lyrics captured hearts and climbed charts in both the U.S. and the UK. Even today, it’s remembered fondly as a tribute to simple, enduring love.
