A Wedding Song
|
 |
Is this the little boy I carried?
Is this what he was meant to be?
I don't remember ever changing?
Why did he?
(Father)
When did he get to be a beauty?
However could I fail to see?
How could it be that I have missed this
that he's gone from me
(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Children growing to fruition
Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Gently flow the years
Questions too hard for comprehension
Eased by our understanding tears
(Mother)
What words of wisdom can find now?
How can I help to ease my pain
(Both)
Now we must learn from one another
Day by day
(Guests)
They look so natural together
(All)
Just like two newlyweds should be
(the Dreamers in us all)
Is there a love in store for me?
(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Children growing to fruition
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Gently flow the years
Loving replacing all the heartache
Blessing with happiness and tears
To cherish and to love her once again.
based on the song Sunrise, Sunset
From the Musical "Fiddler on the Roof"
