Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
[Verse 2]
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
[Verse 3]
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
[Verse 4]
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
[Chorus]
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
[Chorus]
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
[Verse 5]
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
[Verse 6]
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
[Verse 7]
Now, they must learn from one another
Day by day
[Verse 8]
They look so natural together
[Verse 9]
Just like two newlyweds should be
[Verse 10]
Is there a canopy in store for me?
[Chorus]
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
