Sunflower Man

Sunflower Man (written by Donna Simpson)



I’ll never forget I was singing in the streets

You laid a sunflower in the case at my feet

Threw a smile and you rolled right away

People cheered on the day that I fell in love

Yeah I fell in love



My head was heavy my clothes they were torn

I’d never felt like anybody’s princess before

If you knew how much you blew me away

I’d want to go and relive that day

It was the day that I fell in love

Yeah I fell in love



Oh Sunflower Man, throw me a dollar, reach out your hand

Lay a big sunflower down at my feet

It was a buskers dream the way I fell in love

I fell in love, when I fell in love



The day you gave that big sunflower to me

We lay together and we spoke till the dawn

We spoke of poetry and we sung some songs till the daylight came



I’m not always good at saying how I feel

This song to some people it’s not a big deal

But you know who it’s from and you know who it’s for

I was a poor lonely busker the day I fell in love

Yeah I fell in love



Close your eyes lay your head in my lap

You know I really love that

I thank God for the day that I was singing in the street

I earnt twelve dollars, a sunflower and you to keep

And I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love – and I’m still in love
