Sunrise, Sunset

"Sunrise, Sunset" is a song from the musical Fiddler on the Roof written in 1964 by composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick.

And the same thing happened – I am not a pianist but the music to "Sunrise Sunset" is easy enough so that I could learn the piano part – and I played it for my sister.

[9] Virtual Shropshire's critic wrote that the song "wrings the heart ... as Tevye's daughters approach marrying age.

"[10] Register Citizen described the song as a "heartbreaking parental cry to slow down the years, to keep their children young: 'Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

In 2011 Sheldon Harnick wrote two versions of the song, suitable for same-sex weddings, with minor word changes.
