GI once kissed a sunflower
Cand stroked her petalled hair
Gthere were many others
               C growing in the flower bed
Dtulips and daffodils
Cgrowing there
G                 Cmorning glory and daisies
Gblooming there

all the other flowers
Cwere so delicate and sweet
Gbut I hardly noticed them
Cfor they were at my feet
D                Csunflower looked at me

eye to eye

sunflower smiled
Ga smile so wide
Cthat it was the biggest smile

that could ever be
GI wanted to pick her 
Cand to take her home with me
Dbut if I picked her 
G   Cshe soon will die
             Gso I decided to leave her lie
Cand I would gather morning dew

and spread it on her thin
Gthen I bought a garden plot
Cand gently moved her in
D             Cwe were alone and the day was done

all I could say then was 
Gyou're the one
Dwe were alone
Cand the day was through
                         Gall I could say then was I love you
