John Williams Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics

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 sunflow'rs,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years;
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.

Now is the little boy a bridegroom,
Now is the little girl a bride.
Under the canopy i see them,
Side by side.
Place the gold ring
Around her finger,
Share the sweet wine
And break the glass;
Soon the full circle
Will have come to pass.

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days;
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflow'rs,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years;
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
