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.
