The jazz lyric is one of the most important devices for a singer. That is why I decided to start this blog. So that singers like myself can have a valuable resource to use. Most of the lyrics that I post will be for tunes outside of The Great American Songbook.

Little Sunflower: Freddie Hubbard, Leon Thomas
These are lyrics that Leon Thomas used from singing Little Sunflower by Freddie Hubbard.
Beauty beyond compare
The rainbow in your hair
Little sunflower
Your people proud and strong
Wise with ancestor long
Little sunflower
Sunlight from your father
Shining on the sea of life
Moonlight from your mother
Giving for the milk of life

Love it! beautiful and timely.
Sorry but these are not the words/lyrics to Little Sun flower by freddie hubbard with vocals by al jarreau 1979, which are really beautiful. The first two verses and chorus:
-------------------
Glowing like the sun
Warming everyone
When you walk with me
Rain and winter snow
Only help you glow
When you walk with me
More and more each hour
Like a precious little flower
More and more each hour
Like a precious little flower
