Sunrise, Sunset
[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?

[ALL]
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

[WOMEN]
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
[ALL]
One season following another
Laden 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

[HODEL & PERCHIK]
Is there a canopy in store for me?

[ALL]
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
