Lyrics

Is this the lit tle girl I car

ried?

Is this the lit tle boy at play?

I don’t re mem ber grow ing old

er,

when

did

they?

When did she get to be a beau

ty?

When did he grow to be so tall?

Was n’t it yes ter day when they

were

small?

Sun rise, sun set, sun rise, sun set, Swift ly flow the days.

Seed lings turn o ver night to sun

flow’rs,

blos som ing e ven as we gaze.

Sun rise, sun set, sun rise, sun set, Swift ly fly the years;

one sea son fol low ing an oth

er,

la den with hap pi ness and tears.

Now is the lit tle boy a bride

groom,

Now is the lit tle girl a bride.

Un der the can o py I see

them,

side

side.

Place the gold ring a round her fin

ger.

Share the sweet wine and break the glass.

Soon the full cir cle will have come

pass.
