Miss Daisy Hawkins

 

Lyrics & music by

Rick Springfield and Matt Bissonette


Miss Daisy Hawkins you dreamed of a life

Or did a life dream of you

You were the girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Chosen but pushed out of view

Here at the altar don't let courage falter

With something old, borrowed and blue

Just pick up the rice, heed McKenzie's advice

Don't do anything I wouldn't do

 

Miss Daisy Hawkins I know you can't hear me

Your life ended so long ago

You should have been legend right here in a mix

Lost to a whim way back in '66

I want you to know I remember you still

You'll meet face to face with the fool on the hill

Daisy Hawkins

 

Miss Daisy Hawkins time can be cruel

No porters with looking-glass ties

(Looking-glass ties)

You took a trip on a magical ship

Even magical ships can capsize

Eleanor died at least you were a bride

Though there was no fortune and fame

(So) Leave the jar I've got gas in the car

I will always remember your name

 

Miss Daisy Hawkins I know you can't hear me

Your life ended so long ago

You should have been legend right here in a mix

Lost to a whim way back in '66

I want you to know I remember you still

You'll meet face to face with the fool on the hill

Daisy Hawkins

 

Where are you now, hope you wear it with pride

You were there when the song was begun

Remember inside you're the Genesis bride

Walk with your face in the sun

 

So many people so many so lonely

I know that we all feel the same

You were the girl with the sun in her eyes

But Lucy she never explained

I know it gets colder when muses get older

(Oh so much colder)

When all of their dreams don't come true

All of you lost girls it caused so much pain

And all the boys feel it too

 

Miss Daisy Hawkins I know you can't hear me

Your life ended so long ago

You should have been legend right here in a mix

Lost to a whim way back in '66

I want you to know I remember you still

You'll meet face to face with the fool on the hill

Daisy Hawkins
