Miriam Makeba - Sunrise, Sunset [Forbidden Games]

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

When did she grow to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

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

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
Laden with happiness and tears
