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
