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
