My Sunflower

about

This is a live recording from a concert in Ithaca, NY, in 1976, in which Peter performed with his band, Amethyst, featuring (then) Judy Cohen on violin and voice and Chieli Minucci on guitar and voice. The band played around the Ithaca area and lasted until Judy and Chieli graduated from Ithaca College of Music.

lyrics

MY SUNFLOWER

Just knowing that you treat me well
Has helped to keep my head up high.
Now I can face the morning, love,
Just knowing that you'll stop by.

Oh, you are my sunflower.
You are my sunflower; you are the light.
Keep me in dark hours; warm me at night.
You are the reason, you are the one.
Oh, you are my sunflower.

And, even if you leave me, love,
The comfort of your presence stays.
Your energy is all around,
And shows itself in many ways.

Oh, you are my sunflower.
You are my sunflower; you are the way.
Casting your sweet power over my day.
You are forever, you are the one.
Oh, you are my sunflower.

The melodies of things you say
Return to me from time to time.
Our love in lines of poetry -
You know just how to make them rhyme.

Oh, you are my sunflower.
You are my sunflower; you are the light.
Keep me in dark hours; warm me at night.
You are the reason, you are the one.
Oh, you are my sunflower.

Yes, you wouldn't believe how knowing you
has simply made me whole.
You have changed my life in many ways
And I'll never be the same, again, oh no -
Not even if you leave me, love.

With respect being a songwriter, as discouraging as my 49 years in USA have been, Rachel and I persevere, regardless. What else do we have to offer to the world? Thankfully, we DO have a few supporters across the globe who buy these songs, either because they like them or to give our morale a boost. Thanks hugely, friends. Your support is critical to why we get up each morning and plug on. ... more
