I mean, cripes, that's as bad a rip-off as "Steal Away" borrowing the keyboards almost note for note from "What a Fool Believes".Also, I have to admit that way back in the day, my band played around with a hard-rock cover of this song, with the lyrics changed to "Having my baby/What a wonderful way to prove that I really did you". Never followed through with it live, though. Did they just copy/sample that flute/mellotron part directly from “Daniel”, or did someone just rip it off live in the studio.
