Testo Fiddler On The Roof- Sunrise, Sunset

TEVYE

Is this the little girl I carried?

Is this the little boy at play?




GOLDE

I don't remember getting older

When did they?





TEVYE

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be this tall?





GOLDE

Wasn't it yesterday

When they were small?





TEVYE & MEN

Sunrise, sunset,

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly flow the days

Seedling turn overnight to sunflowers

Blossoming even as we gaze





GOLDE & WOMEN

Sunrise, sunset,

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following another

Laden with happiness and cheers





TEVYE

What word of wisdom can I give them?

How can I help to ease their ways?





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?





CHORUS

Sunrise, sunset,

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly flow the days

Seedling turn overnight to sunflowers

Blossoming even as we gaze





Sunrise, sunset,

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following another

Laden with happiness and cheers...
