5:34 a.m., I was about to start my day
But she layin′ there across me, so I stayed anyway
Arms tied, legs numb, wrapped around my kneeSweetest 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 timеs, bad luck, all that in-between
Sweetest of the sunflowеrs, 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
