5:34 a.m., I was about to start my day But she layin' there 'cross me, so I stayed anyway Arms tied, legs numb, wrapped around my knee 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 cloud around you from my last cigarette And you come from a good place with a happy family The only bad you've ever done was to see the good in me
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, all that in-between Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me
And I remember being younger and my mother told me the 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 grows you to the clouds
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
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
