Sunrise, sunset (from the "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 sunflow'rs,

Blossoming even as we gaze.

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,

Swiftly fly the years...

One season following other,

Laden with happiness and tears...
