Sara Perkins - Sunflowers for Alfred Roy lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 you had doubts I guess anybody'd have had doubts [Verse 2] Please be at peace father I'm at peace with you Bitterness isn't worth cling to After all the anguish we've all been through [Verse 3] Thank you for the mountains The lake of the clouds I'm picturing you and me there right now As the crystal cascades showered down [Verse 4] 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 Watch part of my life disappear [Verse 5] Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly Saying that you've always been proud of me I needed to feel that so desperately You're always alive inside of me Now you're shining like A sunflower up in the sky Way up high
