sunflower
A thousand drops of gold, a thousand drops of gold
Youâve got a thousand drops of gold
Oh sunflower
Did you climb into a hive, taste the honey deep inside
And then paint your petals bright?
Oh sunflower, pretty sunflower
A thousand dreams come true
Each one a gift from you
Is there nothing left to do,
Oh, sunflower?
Shall I sit beneath the sun
Tilt my head just like youâve done and then smile on everyone?
Oh, sunflower
Pretty sunflower.
I know the weight of gray.
Felt the length of a yearlong December
But when my eyes taste the sweetness at your core
I canât help, I canât help but remember
A thousand drops of gold, a thousand drops of gold
Youâve got a thousand drops of gold
Oh, sunflower
