lyrics

When you first took my hand
I couldn't keep the smile from my face
See this radiant angel
Was smiling back through the space
So we swayed to rhythm
You took your turns with grace
I knew the moment I held you
Everything had changed
See you glowed like an ember
Caressed by the wind
Like a blooming sunflower
You draw sun through the rain
In the moment I held you
In our tender embrace
I knew I couldn't let you
Slip out and away

As the songs disappear
Your voice is all I can hear
And your face is all I care to linger on now
When it seems that all I can do
Is sing these songs of you
Sunflowers come now
Sunflowers come now

When you next came and grabbed me
You dragged me all over the place
I didn't care where you led me
Consumed with the chase
So then you told me you liked me
You felt strangely safe
You couldn't explain it
Just wanted to me stay
So we talked on for hours
Hands tightly embraced
I cant say that we ate much
Foods all gone to waist
Some hours later
I walked you home to your door
Just round the corner
You know I wanted more

As the songs disappear
Your voice is all I can hear
And your face is all I care to linger on now
When it seems that all I can do
Is sing these songs of you
Sunflowers come now
Sunflowers come now

The first time you kissed me
It took us both by surprise
You did expect me
Neither did I
See I've waited for so long
For someone just like you
Your my kind of perfect
I hope I'm yours too
Somehow you get me
I feel you the same of you
I'm kind'a broken
You make that work too
So please know that I love
I would change one thing
Your my Sunflower
Drawing sun through the rain

As the songs disappear
Your voice is all I can hear
And your face is all I care to linger on now
When it seems that all I can do
Is sing these songs of you
Sunflowers come now
Sunflowers come now
