Sunflower, you're all that I remember
You're everything I used to have
Someday I'll come back to you
Sunflower, you're the best days of my life
You're the clearest evening skies I've ever felt
Someday I'll come back to you
I got older, I got taller
Still you tower over me
I could bend down and see you how I used to
Hold you in my gaze just like a memory
I got stronger, I got wiser
Still it's you I'm holding
You never change from golden
And when I think about the way my life's unfolding
And the world that I'm beholding
I'll come back to you
Sunflower, I was a boy in the backyard
I was younger, things were simpler then
Someday I'll come back to you
Sunflower, I carry you with me
Roots you planted in my soul
Someday I'll come back to you
I got older, I got taller
Still you tower over me
I could bend down and see you how I used to
Hold you in my gaze just like a memory
I got stronger, I got wiser
Still it's you I'm holding
You never change from golden
And when I think about the way my life's unfolding
And the world that I'm beholding
I'll come back to you
(I'll come back to you)
Sunflower, I'm growing up like you did
But I'm not in that backyard anymore
A shadow hiding under you
And sunflower, someday I will fall
The earth will hold us both there in her arms
Someday I'll be back with you
I got older, I got taller
Still you tower over me
I could bend down and see you how I used to
Hold you in my gaze just like a memory
I got stronger, I got wiser
Still it's you I'm holding
You never change from golden
And when I think about the way my life's unfolding
And the world that I'm beholding
I'll come back to you
I'll come back to you
