5:34 a.m., I was about to start my day
But she lay in there across me, so I stayed anyway
Arms tied, legs numb, her wrapped around my knee

Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you´re the sun to me

I don´t recall what you were wearing 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

´Cause I´ve been livin´, waitin´ on the day
That the good Lord willin´, sends you out my way
I´ve seen hard times, bad luck, all that in-between
Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you´re the sun to me

And I remember being younger and my mother told me true
Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you
Take heed when things get hard and don´t you ever turn around
´Cause you´ll find someone, someday, somewhere
That grows you to the clouds

And you walked me home that evening when I could barely walk
And you spoke to me so sweetly on the days I couldn´t talk
And now I´m seeing clearly and I´m growing up so free

Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you´re the sun to me

´Cause I´ve been livin´, waitin´ on the day
That the good Lord willin´, sends you out my way
I´ve seen hard times, bad luck, all that in-between
The sweetest of the sunflowers, how you´re the sun to me
The sweetest of the sunflowers, how you´re the sun to me
