Daffodils

Een bosje daffodils uit de reclame. Drie voor 5 euro. Eerst is zo’n bosje totaal niksig, en dan ineens straalt het je tegemoet. 

Om enigszins te bekomen van de consternatie over het tuintje ga ik maar boven op mijn kamertje tekenen. Dat kan ik tenminste wél. En dan ineens komt het liedje 'Snowdrops and daffodils' boven drijven. Dana. 'All kinds of everything'. Songfestival 1970.

Hierbij de tekst, om even hardop te zingen:

Snowdrops and daffodils,

Butterflies and bees,

Sailboats and fishermen,

Things of the sea,

Wishing wells, wedding bells,

Early morning dew,

All kinds of everything

Remind me of you.

Seagulls and aeroplanes,

Things of the sky,

Winds that go howling,

Breezes that sigh,

City sights, neon lights,

Grey skies or blue,

All kinds of everything

Remind me of you.

Summer time, winter time,

Spring and autumn too,

Monday, Tuesday, everyday,

I think of you.

Dances, romances,

Things of the night,

Sunshine and holidays,

Postcards to write.

Budding trees, autumn leaves,

A snowflake or two,

All kinds of everything

Remind me of you.

Summer time, winter time,

Spring and autumn too,

Seasons will never change

The way that I love you.

Dances, romances,

Things of the night.

Sunshine and holidays,

Postcards to write,

Budding trees, autumn leaves,

A snowflake or two.

All kinds of everything

Remind me of you.
