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
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 fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness - and - tears.
