Norbert Leo Butz - Daffodils lyrics

EDWARD: I was indentured to A traveling circus Elephants and all I was shot out of a cannon When they up and lost the ball I met werewolves Giants Dancing bears If you don't think it true Then how on earth Can you explain the road That led me here to you? SANDRA: [spoken] Wait, are you the… EDWARD: Look, I saw you And all of time In all the world stood still And I promise I'll prove my worth I'll roam the earth until You believe me And we can be, at last forever one Don't be afraid Be my crusade SANDRA: [spoken] But you're too late. I'm engaged to be married EDWARD: Tell me what I have to go and do To make you change your mind Anything I have to promise to I'll gladly get behind I'm the man who you should marry Your intended through and through Otherwise I'd never walk the road That led me here to you Once a month A scrap of news It felt like you were there Once a month I heard your voice I held you, solitaire Amos said that you loved music Said that you were college bound But one thing More than all the rest Filled the heart inside my chest: He told me you loved daffodils And countless as the stars that shine They stretched in never ending line ‘Til all I saw were Daffodils Beside the lake Beneath the trees All fluttering and dancing in the breeze And like that moment right between Asleep and waking I thought I saw ten thousand strong In one quick glance But when I saw your face I knew beyond mistaking A million flowers Couldn't stand a chance So I'll pretend the Daffodils Are just an introduction to The blossoming of me and you Beside the lake Beneath the tree Beyond mistake Please marry me Please marry me SANDRA: [spoken] But you hardly know me! EDWARD: [spoken] I have the rest of my life to find out [spoken] These, and these [spoken] These, and these… [sung] These are for you Only for you EDWARD & SANDRA: Let's build a world of daffodils That never fades and never dies I see the answer in your eyes You'll be the bride/I'll be the bride I'll be the groom/you'll be the groom A daffodil in every room EDWARD: And I will shower you with flowers Or my name isn't Edward… EDWARD & SANDRA: Bloom
