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 go the days

Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers

Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following an other

Laden with happiness and tears

What words of wisdom can I give them

How can I help to ease their ways

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 fly the years

One season following an other

Laden with happiness and tears
