( Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset... )
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...
( Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset... )

George's Thoughts: Beautiful Waltz from the musical "Fiddler on the Roof." One of my favorites. A version played with even more emotional impact by Manuel & The Music of the Mountains is available on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 1." A popular selection at graduation events and weddings. Because the words are so wonderful, I prefer vocalized versions.
