Sunrise, sunset, sunsrise sunset...

Lyrics from Fiddler on the roof: Tevye, was reminiscing how his daughter has grown up and how the years have gone by so quickly...

(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 get 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?

 

(Tevye)

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
