sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
is this the little girl i carried?
is this the little boy at play?
i don’t remember growing older
when did they?
 Kim Novak

when did she get to be a beauty?

when did he grow to be so tall?
wasn’t it yesterday that they were small?
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
swiftly flow the days
seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
blossoming even as they gaze…
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
swiftly fly the years
one season following another
laden with happiness and tears
one season following another
laden with happiness and tears
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
is this the little girl i carried?
is this the little boy at play?
i don’t remember growing older
when did they?
 Natalie Wood

when did she get to be a beauty?

when did he grow to be so tall?
wasn’t it yesterday that they were small?
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
swiftly flow the days
seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
blossoming even as they gaze…
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
swiftly fly the years
one season following another
laden with happiness and tears…
one season following another
laden with happiness and tears…
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
 sunrise sunset
