Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower
In a world that's crumbling, all around us everyday
You are, all the inspiration that I need to find my way
How long have I been yearning, for the day I find my one true love
Now that you are here my darling, I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower
You're, making it feel that everything is alright (alright)
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower
Whenever you call me, I'll be there with no delay, my love
Even when I'm miles away girl, my heart will be there (I'll be right there)
Any conversation that you want to have, you'll have my ear
You can tell me all your secrets, they'll be safe my dear
You're, making it feel that everything is alright
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower
You're (you're), making it feel that everything is alright (alright)
You're my sunflower, (ooh)you're my sunflower
I'm not that good with words, but I'ma, I'm gon' try my best
Look, I won't ever wanna make you mad girl
I just wanna have a seed you know the things young men are hesitant to have, girl
A little you a little me and someone else, good Lord that's a winner right there
But we really got a story to tell, it can't finish right there
I used to wonder what my old girl doing right now
Ever since you came into my life
Every time I think it'd be good to call her
I just think about you and it'd make me think twice, ah yeah
Yeah, I know we've been through a couple things
You know a couple things, what are we to do
But you make me feel good, you love me for me and you love me for you
Come on
You're, making it feel that everything is alright (it's gon' be alright)
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower, hey
You're, making it feel that everything is alright (alright)
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower
You're (you're), making it feel that everything is alright (alright)
You're my sunflower, (ooh)you're my sunflower
Hey, you're, making it feel that everything is alright (it's gon' be alright)
You're my sunflower, you're my sunflower

I admit that the first time I heard this song Sunflower by Lenny Kravitz feat. Drake was by the
August/September 2011 timeframe and the happy energy of this song drew my music
listening spirit. This entertaining music collaboration involving Lenny Kravitz and Drake appears to
symbolize enduring love and being around someone who boosts one’s mood andor
soul/spirit from the way the Sunflower imagery is melded with the lyrics of
this song.
