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 sunflower. 
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 the newly - weds should be 
Is there a canopy in store for me. 

Sunrise sunset...
