Greatest Musical Song
Fiddler on the Roof the Musical - Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics

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.

WOMEN:
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.

EVERYONE:
Sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset,
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden 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?

EVERYONE:
Sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset,
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness, and tears
