Carey, Mariah - Sunflowers Lyrics






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 doubts
I guess anybody'd have had doubts

Please be at peace father
I'm at peace with you
Bitterness isn't worth cling 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
Watch part of my 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
You're always alive inside of me
Now you're shining like
A sunflower up in the sky
Way up high

    OMG ALFRED ROY IS MY FULL FIRST NAME!!!
    mostly because this is where my parents got my name...

    r.... ....

    do you like the song?

    r.... ....

    Alfred Roy was her dad who passed away. It's a song for him.

  8. F.... A....

    i know many people do not like her breathy whispers...but they are honestly the most beautiful sound ever and very unlike other singer's falsettos. so calming and gentle.

    F.... A....

    They also aren't falsetto. Only women with exceptionally low voices actually have a falsetto. It's a mixed voice aka head voice.

    F.... A....

    I love her breathy whispers, legit can sit there and listen to the charm bracelet album all day and :) she does it so beautifully 😭

    F.... A....

    It is falsetto, have you heard her speaking voice? It’s very deep for a woman. Just check out the recent Crisp ad.

  9. j.... ....

    Omg, I always listen to Mariah Carey everyday of my life but never bothered to listen to this song and I thought I hated it so I always skipped it. Now that I'm listening to it, I'm in tears. Not one song by her made me cry, but this is so beautiful!
