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
