Lyrics
Sunflower, Sunflower
Growing up by the hour
I can remember your face looking up at me
Sunflower, Sunflower
Sometimes it rains or shines
I don't know how high you will climb
We'll just have to wait and see
As if overnight, the colors of my everyday have all been changed
Deeper and bright than even the sun or rain ever could paint
Sunflower, Sunflower
I'll teach you to bend in the wind
And reach for the sky again
And anything that you need
Cause that's what I do
Take care of you and someday, you will do the same
But I think for now, let's count clouds
And save them for a rainy day
Sunflower, Sunflower
Growing up by the hour
I can remember your face looking up at me
I can remember your face looking up at me
