My Only Sunshine
No gray skies cloud a sunflower's rays
...For as long as summertime stays,
Bloom again and you are mine...
Don't you know, dear, you are my sunshine
At dusk, your head hangs with petals drawn
Til your sunshine returns with the coming dawn,
Thereafter, a shower of sweet summer rain
As I lay sleeping, the morning held you, dear, once again
Remember, when October takes you away
You brightened up every balmy day..,
With more than yellow petals and a green vine
Please know, dear, you were my only sunshine.
