Lyrics: | 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
this 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 newlyweds should
be.
Is there a canopy in store for me?
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 |
