Sunrise, Sunset =============== w&m: Jerry Bock, 1971 From "Fiddler on the Roof" [TEVYE] Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play? [GOLDE] I don't remember growing older; When did they? [TEVYE] When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? [GOLDE] Wasn't it yesterday when they Were small? [MEN] Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, Swiftly flow the days; Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, Blossoming even as we gaze. [WOMEN] Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years; One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears. [TEVYE] What words of wisdom can I give them? How can I help to ease their way? [GOLDE] Now they must learn from one another, Day by day. [PERCHIK] They look so natural together. [HODEL] Just like two newlyweds should be. [PERCHIK, HODEL] Is there a canopy in store for me? [ALL] 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.
