Sunrise, Sunset

Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years 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 get to be so tall? Wasn't it yesterday When they were small? Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years Now is the little boy a bridegroom? Now is the little girl a bride? Under the canopy I see them Side by side Bless the gold ring around her finger 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 we gaze Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years One season following another Laden with happiness and tears Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years
