Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
1. We all need someone we can lean upon
To give us guidance when we’re woe begone
We’re all like ships lost on the ocean
Until the light breaks thro’ the dawn
CHORUS
Just like a sunflower lives for a sun shower
My inspiration is you
Just like the joy after hearing a child’s laughter
My inspiration is you
You’re like the dream of every poet
You stand supreme
How glad I am to know it
Just like a real sweetheart
Craves an ideal sweetheart
My inspiration is you
2. The moon lends romance to the lover’s lane
The stars weave silver links in mem-ries’ chain
The birds and bees look to the blossoms
Without such things life would be vain
