sun to me

5:36 a.m., I was about to start my day

But she layin' there 'cross me, so I stayed anyway

Arms tied, legs numb and wrapped around my knees

Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me

I don't recall what you were wearin' on the first night we met

Besides the subtle clouds around you from my last cigarette

And you come from a good place with a happy family

Only bad you've ever done was to see the good in me, mmm

But I've been livin', waitin' on the day

That the good Lord willin', send you out my way

I've seen hard times, bad luck, and all that's in between

Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me

And I remember being younger and my mother told me truth

"Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you"

Take heed when things get hard and don't you ever turn around

You'll find someone, someday, somewhere that'll grow you to the clouds, oh

And you walked me home that evenin' when I could barely walk

And you spoke to me so sweetly on the days I couldn't talk

And now I'm seein' clearly, and I'm growin' up so free

Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me

And I've been livin', waitin' on the day

That the good Lord willin', send you out my way

I've seen hard times, bad luck, all that in between

Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me

Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me
