Sunrise, Sunset (From "Fiddler on the Roof")

Is this the little girl I carried, is this the little boy at play,

I don't remember growing older, when did they?

When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall?

Wasn't it yesterday, when they were small?

Sunrise, Sunset - Sunrise, Sunset

Swiftly flow the days

Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers

blossoming even as we gaze,

Sunrise, Sunset - Sunrise, Sunset

swiftly fly the years,

One season following another, laden with happiness and tears.

What words of wisdom can I give them?

How can I help to ease their way?

Now they must learn from one another, day by day.

They look so natural together, just like two newly weds should be,

is there a canopy in store for me?

Sunrise, Sunset - Sunrise, Sunset

Swiftly fly the years,

One season following another, laden with happiness and tears.
