So Tzeitel, Tevye's eldest daughter, does not marry Leiser Wolf, the butcher who is much older. She marries the young Mottel. See post of 3rd April about Fiddler on the Roof.
(Father Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried,
Is this the little boy at play?
(Mother 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?
(men)
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly flow the days.
(women)
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
(everyone)
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden 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.
(everyone)
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness,

These photos are taken when I was travelling.In Egypt I saw this sunset on the Nile and when I was on my way to Australia in 2008, I saw the sunrise. In July I hope to travel again to Australia to see my new granddaughter.

Sunset -Sunrise is one of my favorite songs of Fiddler on the Roof. May your sunset and sunrise be beautiful and happy, Wil!
I love this song. Remind me of my college days. ^_^

Wonderful post this week, Wil.
We've been away, too, and I had to smile at your choice of song — Dick spent a lot of time on the cruise ship trying to get good sunrise and sunset photos. He likes this song a lot!
Looking forward to baby pictures!
Luv, K
Beautiful shots of both the sunrise and sunset. Beautiful choice of song. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful way to celebrate SkyWatch Friday. The song, of course, is wonderful, and your pictures are marvelous.
Beautiful photos and I enjoyed the Fiddler. Very dreamy and emotional.
Beautiful sunrise captures Wil!
Sunrise, please come and see when you get a chance. Have a great weekend!
Our singer/guitarist friend sang this song at my son's bar mitsvah luncheon many years ago. It was especially moving then.
I love that song and play. How poignant the phrase--
"I don't remember growing older, when did they."
Sunrise .... Sunset ... Beautiful Will. I must watch that movie again.
Great skies, Wil, and such a pleasure to hear the video. Enjoy your holiday in Australia!
I first heard Sunrise Sunset on some album out of context, by Robert Goulet, I think. but in the context of the movie, it ALWAYS makes me cry.
*tears*

I enjoyed watching Fiddler on the roof. They came to Auckland a few years ago.
That has always been one of my favorite song...probably most people would say the same. It's such a poignant story!
