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. |
