Mariah Carey - Sunflowers For Alfred Roy Lyrics

Now you're shining
(Shining like a)
Like a sunflower up in the sky
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 you had your doubts
(I guess anybody would have doubts)
I guess anybody'd have had doubts

Please be at peace, Father
I'm at peace with you
Bitterness isn't worth clinging to
(Clinging to)
After all 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 showered down

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 own life disappear

Father, thanks for reaching out
And lovingly saying that
You've always been proud of me
(I needed to feel that so desperately)
I needed to feel that so desperately

Now you're shining like a
Shining like a sunflower up in the sky
(You're always alive inside of me)
