	Story Behind the Song This is a reinterpretation of a song written by Jimbo Chapman and recorded by his group, Craven Melon, originally released on their last CD, The Great Procrastinator. We think you will agree that the song was meant to have a female lead, and an all acoustic arrangement. This is one of the few songs that Alysson did many, many takes for. At least 10 different versions were recorded, from pure country to pure folk and everything in between. The final mix really put the best parts of all genres together. Lyrics Just because I hide my eyes doesn't mean I'm crying And just as sure as winter comes shouldn't mean my love is dying You can feel the sun shining down even in December I see a candle flickering, it lights the room inside me And I've watched you while you sleep, like heaven was beside me And now that we both sleep alone I hope you still remember And the best part of all the reason I called I found your silk sunflowers And it's been a while since I've seen you smile You gave me silk sunflowers I search for something beautiful, and in you I found my shelter A memory that's torn and dry can still hold us together And if you say stay with me, my love, I will surrender And the best part of all the reason I called I found your silk sunflowers And it's been a while since I've seen you smile You gave me silk sunflowers Falling wings and broken dreams will always be behind you And the promise we made long ago, I hope these will remind you And the best part of all the reason I called I found your silk sunflowers And it's been a while since I've seen you smile You gave me silk sunflowers
