(Sheldon Harnick/Jerry Bock)
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
Laden with happiness and tears
