Chords in this song · guitar

I once kissed a sunflower

and stroked her petalled hair

there were many others

growing in the flower bed

tulips and daffodils

growing there

G C

morning glory and daisies

blooming there

all the other flowers

were so delicate and sweet

but I hardly noticed them

for they were at my feet

D C

sunflower looked at me

eye to eye

sunflower smiled

a smile so wide

that it was the biggest smile

that could ever be

I wanted to pick her

and to take her home with me

but if I picked her

G C

she soon will die

so I decided to leave her lie

and I would gather morning dew

and spread it on her thin

then I bought a garden plot

and gently moved her in

D C

we were alone and the day was done

all I could say then was

you're the one

we were alone

and the day was through

all I could say then was I love you

D C G

D Em C
