Missed Her (Daffodil) Lyrics

A poet from Venice made a trip from the states

To write of their beautiful mountains and lakes

But he was distracted by a lovely young girl

Who sat on a park bench, her hair in a curl

When he worked up the courage to go say hello

She got up to leave cuz she had to go

The poet was saddened, but not in dismay

He said, "I was just unlucky today."

And now every day he comes

Asking almost anyone

Is the woman here

With a smile like a daffodil

Up on a windowsill

Dancing

Is she anywhere

With her eyes like the sky

On a night in July

All exploding

I'm so sorry, sir,

But you missed her

The poet was steadfast to come to the park

He came in the morning and stayed until dark

He packed up a picnic for two, just in case

The woman was spotted in that lovely place

And now every day he comes

Asking almost anyone

Is the woman here

With a smile like a daffodil

Up on a windowsill

Dancing

Is she anywhere

With her eyes like the sky

On a night in July

All exploding

I'm so sorry, sir,

But you missed her

He was relentless in patiently waiting for sure

He was content with a park bench if he could see her

One day he watched the sunrise

He lifted his sleep-ridden eyes

He saw the girl right up ahead

He smiled at her and he said

Well, hello my dear

What a beautiful day

Now that you've come my way

It's a miracle

It's good to see you here

I've been waiting for days

Just to meet you and say

That I love you

Is the woman here

With a smile like a daffodil

Up on a windowsill

Dancing

Is she anywhere

With her eyes like the sky

On a night in July

All exploding

I'm so sorry, sir,

But you missed her
