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 they gaze…
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears…
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears…)
Now is the little boy a bridegroom,
Now is the little girl a bride?
Under the canopy I see them,
Side… by… side!
Place the gold ring around her fin-ger,
Share the sweet wine and break the glass;
Soon the full circle will have come… to… pass
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as they gaze…
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears…
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears…)
