Sunflower to My Soul

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I played the mama and the daddy too, Raised up an angel who's lookin' at you. The brightest star in my wide-open sky, The apple of this weary mama's eye. She'll love you with a fire so deep, A kind of promise you'd better keep. [Chorus] So build her up, boy, speak sweet life, She's your partner, not a servant wife. Don't clip her wings or cage her, let her fly, Let her shine so vibrant 'neath the sky. I thank God you make her happy — but hear this part: I'll show my darker side if you crush her heart. [Verse 2] She'll do a million things for you out of love, But she's a wild free spirit, not a captive dove. Remind her every day she's precious and rare, Don't ever walk away or leave her standing there. I pray she's your whole world, like she's been mine, Treat her like a treasure, you'll be just fine. [Chorus] So build her up, boy, speak sweet life, She's your partner, not a servant wife. Don't clip her wings or cage her, let her fly, Let her shine so vibrant 'neath the sky. I thank God you make her happy — but hear this part: I'll show my darker side if you crush her heart. [Bridge] Oh, Beca Lynn, my sunflower, the best part of my soul, You saved your mama's life, girl, you made me whole. Stay true to who you are, go feel the sun, Smell the wildflowers, every single one. [Verse 3] Be gentle with yourself, be soft and kind, I wouldn't even be here if not for you, child of mine. Beca Lynn, you taught me how to stand, Now I'm handing you a good man's hand. [Outro] Yeah, she's the sunflower to my soul... Love her right, son. Let her grow. Make her your whole world, Just like mine — my beautiful girl.
