G
I once kissed a sunflower
C
and stroked her petalled hair
G
there were many others
C
growing in the flower bed
D
tulips and daffodils
C
growing there
G C
morning glory and daisies
G
blooming there
all the other flowers
C
were so delicate and sweet
G
but I hardly noticed them
C
for they were at my feet
D C
sunflower looked at me
eye to eye
sunflower smiled
G
a smile so wide
C
that it was the biggest smile
that could ever be
G
I wanted to pick her
C
and to take her home with me
D
but if I picked her
G C
she soon will die
G
so I decided to leave her lie
C
and I would gather morning dew
and spread it on her thin
G
then I bought a garden plot
C
and gently moved her in
D C
we were alone and the day was done
all I could say then was
G
you're the one
D
we were alone
C
and the day was through
G
all I could say then was I love you
