Sunflowers For Alfred Roy
Mariah Carey
(Shining like a shining like a sunflower up in the sky)
(Shining like a shining like a sunflower up in the sky)
Thank you for forgiving
Hurtful things I've done
As a child, adolescent, or woman
Thank you for embracing a flaxen-haired baby
Although, I'm aware that you had your doubts
I guess anybody would have had doubts
Please, be at peace, father, I'm at peace with you
Bitterness isn't worth clinging-to (clinging-to)
After all of the anguish we've all been through
Thank you for the mountains, the lake of the clouds
I'm picturing you and me there, right now
As the crystal cascades shower-down
So strange to feel that proud, strong man grip tightly to my hand
Hard to see the life inside wane, as the days went by
Trying to preserve each word he murmured in my ear
Watching part of my life disappear
Father, thanks for reaching-out lovingly
And saying that you've always been proud of me
I needed to hear that so desperately
You're always alive inside of me
(Now, you're shining like a, shining like a sunflower, up in the sky)
(Now, you're shining like a, shining like a sunflower, up in the sky)
Way-up high
