Good mornin'.
You sure do make it like a sunny day.
Sunflower
Fair warnin'.
I'm gonna love you if you come my way.
Now
If there's a chance that romance will find you
Better not find you lookin' the other way.
Now
Isn't it time you finally take it.
Make it so real it steals your breath away ?
Hey
Hey
Hey.
Sunflower
Good mornin'.
You sure do make it like a sunny time.
Sun mornin'
Good mornin'.
And some day child
I'm gonna make you mine.
Well
If there's a chance that romance will find you
Better not find you lookin' the other way.
Isn't time you finally take it
Make it so good it steals your breath away ?
Hey
Hey
Hey.

Good mornin'.
You sure do make it like a sunny time.
Sunflower
Sweet mornin'.
For ev'ry time I'm gonna make you mine.
