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 we gaze

Sunrise sunset

Sunrise sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following another

Laden with happiness and tears

Now is the little boy a bride groom

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 bread per glass

Soon the whole 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
